FIGURE 1
Pre-dose 3, 1 month post-dose 3, and 3 months post-dose 3 antibody titers among adolescent SOTRs. Samples were available for 43 participants pre-D3 (32 positive, 11 negative), 43 participants 1 month post-D3 (38 positive, 5 negative), and 31 participants 3 months post-D3 (28 positive, 3 negative). Dark blue circles and lines represent antibody titer trends of participants with positive pre-D3 titers (n = 32), and yellow circles and lines represent antibody titer trends of participants with negative pre-D3 titers (n = 11). Participants who reported past SARS-CoV-2 infection prior to receiving dose 1 (n = 4) are marked by light blue triangles. Jittered and darker shapes and lines represent multiple participants. Participants who reported breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infections during the study period are not distinguished in this Figure. Participant samples were processed using the qualitative and semi-quantitative Roche Elecsys anti-SARS-CoV-2 S enzyme immunoassay that tests for total antibody against the receptor-binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Per the manufacturer, a positive threshold of ≥0.8 U/mL was used. The minimum titer reported by the assay is <0.8 U/ml and the maximum titer is >2500 U/ml. 6/11 participants with negative pre-D3 titers seroconverted to have positive 1 month post-D3 titers, while 5/11 participants remained seronegative. 19/32 participants had positive pre-D3 titers lower than the assay’s maximum titer, of which 2/19 had their 1 month post-D3 titer increase by 1600–1800 U/ml and 17/19 had their 1 month post-D3 titer increase to the assay’s maximum. 13/32 participants with positive pre-D3 titers at the assay’s maximum titer continued to have 1 month post-D3 titers of >2500 U/ml. Among participants with 3 month post-D3 samples, 27/31 with positive 1 month post-D3 titers remained seropositive, 3/31 with negative 1 month post-D3 titers remained seronegative, and 1/31 with negative 1 month post-D3 titer and pre-D3 breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection seroconverted to have a positive 3 months post-D3 titer
