Boosting maternal and neonatal anti-SARS-CoV-2 humoral immunity using a third mRNA vaccine dose.

Background: To minimize COVID-19 pandemic burden and spread, 3-dose vaccination campaigns commenced worldwide. Since patients who are pregnant are at increased risk for severe disease, they were recently included in that policy, despite the lack of available evidence regarding the impact of a third boosting dose during pregnancy, underscoring the urgent need for relevant data. We aimed to characterize the effect of the third boosting dose of mRNA Pfizer BNT162b2 vaccine in pregnancy.

Boosting Dose of Pfizer-BioNtech mRNA Vaccine Against SARS-CoV-2 Does Not Affect Reproductive Outcomes in In-Vitro Fertilization Patients: A Cohort Study.

Since the introduction of anti-COVID-19 mRNA vaccination, few studies have shown that reproductive outcomes in artificial reproductive technology (ART) treatments are not impaired, after receiving the two-dose regimen. Our aim was to investigate whether a boosting dose of the Pfizer-BioNtech mRNA vaccine affects reproductive outcomes in ART patients. This is a prospective observational study, including 157 consecutive in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles between October 1, 2021, and November 24, 2021, in a single university affiliated IVF unit.

Boosting maternal and neonatal humoral immunity following SARS-CoV-2 infection using a single messenger RNA vaccine dose.

Background: Post-COVID-19 vaccine boosting is a potent tool in the ongoing pandemic. Relevant data regarding this approach during pregnancy are lacking, which affects vaccination policy guidance, public acceptance, and vaccine uptake during pregnancy. We aimed to investigate the dynamics of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels following SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy and to characterize the effect of a single postinfection vaccine booster dose on the anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels in parturients in comparison with the levels in naïve vaccinated and convalescent, nonboosted parturients.
