Neutralizing antibody (NtAb) titres to four SARS-CoV-2 variants (wild type, Gamma, Alpha and Eta) in 15 previously infected subjects at baseline (T0inf) and after two doses of vaccine (T2inf) and in 15 uninfected subjects after two doses of vaccine (T2uninf). Asterisks indicate significance levels: ***, p<0.001. Median (IQR) titres of neutralizing antibody are reported below.
