To monitor SARS-CoV-2 diffusion, we measured anti-Spike S1/S2 IgGs in the serum of nearly 4000 workers employed in several healthcare facilities for one year. We found that the antibody response persists at least over 8 months in symptomatic subjects, particularly in individuals with anosmia/dysgeusia. Moreover, analyzing a smaller cohort (124 healthcare employees of which 57 had a previous history of SARS-CoV-2 exposure) vaccinated with two doses of Comirnaty vaccine, we observed that in symptomatic subjects previously exposed to SARS-CoV-2 one dose vaccine was sufficient to stimulate very high levels of antibodies, suggesting that these subjects should take only one dose of vaccine.

Abstract

To monitor SARS-CoV-2 diffusion, we measured anti-Spike S1/S2 IgGs in the serum of nearly 4000 workers employed in several healthcare facilities for one year. We found that the antibody response persists at least over 8 months in symptomatic subjects, particularly in individuals with anosmia/dysgeusia. Moreover, analyzing a smaller cohort (124 healthcare employees of which 57 had a previous history of SARS-CoV-2 exposure) vaccinated with two doses of Comirnaty vaccine, we observed that in symptomatic subjects previously exposed to SARS-CoV-2 one dose vaccine was sufficient to stimulate very high levels of antibodies, suggesting that these subjects should take only one dose of vaccine.
