BackgroundHealth Care workers (HCW) are an important group affected by this pandemic and COVID-19 has presented substantial challenges for health professionals and health systems in many countries. The Brazilian vaccination plan implemented in October, so that third dose for HCW. However, the persistence of CoronaVac vaccine-induced immunity is unknown, and immunogenicity according to age cohorts may differ among individuals.ObjectiveEvaluate the post vaccination immune humoral response and the relationship between post-vaccination seropositivity rates and demographic data among Healthcare Workers over 6 months after CoronaVac immunization.MethodsA cross section study including Healthcare professionals vaccinated with CoronaVac for 6 months or more. The study was carried with the analysis of post-vaccination serological test to assess the levels of humoral response after vaccination.Results329 participants were included. Among them, 76% were female. Overall, 18.5% were positive quantitative titles (IQR 42.87-125.5) and the negative group was 80%, quantitative titles (IQR 5.50-13.92).ConclusionIt was possible to identify a group with positive quantitative titles in serological test for IgG antibody against the SARS-CoV-2. Further investigation is required to determine the durability of post-vaccination antibodies and how serological tests can be determine the ideal timing of vaccine booster doses. |
