Article Synopsis
- Hybrid immunity, which occurs after vaccination following infection, offers stronger protection against SARS-CoV-2 by enhancing immune response effectiveness.
- The study compares immune profiles of individuals with infection only, vaccination only, and hybrid immunity, finding that hybrid immunity results in better antibody performance and activation of immune cells.
- Results indicate that older adults particularly benefit from hybrid immunity, highlighting the need for vaccination strategies to consider age differences in immune responses.
Background: The bivalent COVID-19 mRNA boosters became available in fall 2022 and were recommended alongside the seasonal influenza vaccine. However, the immunogenicity of concurrent vs separate administration of these vaccines remains unclear.
Methods: Here, we analyzed antibody responses in health care workers who received the bivalent COVID-19 booster and the influenza vaccine on the same day or on different days through systems serology.
