Longer gap between coronavirus vaccine generate nine times as many antibodies, study


Longer intervals between primary Covid-19 vaccine doses generate nine times as many antibodies, according to a study. The study, which is available only as a preprint and not peer-reviewed yet, found that higher antibody levels due to longer gaps between doses had more effect in younger participants. Post-dose 1, those with previous infection had up to ten times higher antibody levels than naive individuals. After dose 2, those with previous infection had antibody levels more than twice as high as those who hadn't had previous infection. While dosing intervals didn't affect antibody levels in those with previous infection, a longer gap between infection and vaccination was linked to higher antibody levels, said researchers at the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). The findings were presented at this year's European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) in Portugal. Understanding the immune response to vaccination against Covid is integral to controlling the virus and reducing the number of deaths.
