Anti-spike IgG antibody kinetics following the second and third doses of BNT162b2 vaccine in nursing home residents.

Background: Duration of post-vaccination protection against COVID-19 in nursing home (NH) residents is a critical issue. The objective of this study was to estimate the duration of the IgG(S) response to the mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine in NH residents with (COV-Yes) or without (COV-No) history of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Methods: A 574 COV-Yes and COV-No NH residents were included in 2 cohorts: Main (n = 115, median age 87 years) or Confirmatory (n = 459, median age 89 years).
