Pre-Existing Comorbidities Diminish the Likelihood of Seropositivity After SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination

Abstract: Background: The impact of chronic health conditions (CHC) on serostatus post-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination is unknown. Methods: We assessed serostatus post-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination among fully vaccinated participants recruited between April 2021 through August 2021 in 18 years and older residents of Jefferson County, Kentucky, USA. Serostatus was determined by measuring SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein specific immunoglobulin (Ig) G (Spike IgG) antibodies via enzyme-linked imm… Show more

“…Partial vaccination with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 had the lowest protective effects against severe illness. The low protection was mostly likely due to the prioritized targets of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, which were vulnerable groups; thus, the VE might be reduced by aged and underlying diseases [20,24,25]. By focusing on vulnerable groups that are at risk for severe COVID-19, the VE of one-dose vaccination for preventing severe outcomes in older people and people with pre-existing conditions were 68.3% and 57.8%, respectively, which might not be su cient protection [26].…”

“…In fact, individuals with pre-existing chronic health conditions have a multifold higher likelihood of being seronegative (absence of Spike IgG) even after completing full vaccination regimen. 9 Third, seroconversion timeline is not uniform across all individuals. Although public health guidelines recommend a minimum 14-day incubation period after final vaccination dose or infection diagnosis for developing measurable antibody levels, there are multiple reports of individuals seroconverting well after that timeframe.…”
