The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 (B.1.1.529) variant has raised questions regarding resistance to neutralizing antibodies elicited by natural infection or immunization. We examined the neutralization activity of sera collected from previously SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals and SARS-CoV-2 naive individuals who received BBIBP-CorV or CoronaVac to BA.1 and the earlier variants Alpha, Beta, and Delta. Both sera from convalescent patients over three months after infection and two-dose BBIBP-CorV or CoronaVac vaccine recipients barely inhibited BA.1, less effectively neutralized Beta and Delta, and moderately neutralized Alpha. However, administering a single dose of BBIBP-CorV or CoronaVac in previously infected individuals or a third dose booster vaccination of BBIBP-CorV or CoronaVac in previously vaccinated individuals enhances neutralizing activity against BA.1 and other variants, albeit with a lower antibody titer for BA.1. Our data suggest that a booster vaccination is important to broaden neutralizing antibody responses against the variants.

Background: Patients with breast cancer are at an increased risk of severe COVID-19 and related mortality. However, the ability of inactivated vaccine-induced antibodies to neutralize both SARS-CoV-2 and its Omicron variant following a third SARS-CoV-2 vaccine dose remains unclear in these patients.
Methods: Blood samples from 211 breast cancer patients and 155 healthy controls were analyzed after one, two, or three doses of the inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.

The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus worldwide led to the call for the development of effective and safe vaccines to contain the spread and effects of COVID-19. Using information from 40 publications, including clinical trials and observational studies from 2019 to 2024, this review assesses the effectiveness, safety, and limitations of four major vaccines: Sinopharm (BBIBP-CorV), Moderna (mRNA-1273), Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2), and CoronaVac. Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna's mRNA vaccines proved to be more effective than others; Moderna's vaccines showed an efficacy of 94.

In this study, we analysed the outcomes of 1165 symptomatic patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 variant and their response to Sinovac-CoronaVac vaccination. We assessed the effectiveness of vaccination against adverse outcomes (severe, critical, or fatal cases).

Background: Understanding the factors that influence clinical outcomes of COVID-19 and the safety of various vaccines is important to inform public health strategies, particularly in diverse communities. This study aimed to assess the factors affecting the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 and vaccination safety among the Egyptian population.
Methods: In a retrospective study, we examined 1597 patients who tested positive for COVID-19.

Inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines such as CoronaVac and BBIBP-CorV have been widely used in China. However, more investigation is still needed to understand antibodies' duration and effectiveness against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants in the real world. In this study, 575 participants who had been vaccinated with two or three doses of the inactivated vaccine were recruited.
