The NVX-CoV2373-vaccine has recently been licensed, although data on vaccine-induced humoral and cellular immunity towards the parental strain and variants of concern (VOCs) in comparison to dual-dose mRNA-regimens are limited. In this observational study including 66 participants, we show that NVX-CoV2373-induced IgG-levels were lower than after vaccination with BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 (n=22 each, p=0.006). Regardless of the vaccine and despite different IgG-levels, neutralizing activity towards VOCs was highest for Delta, followed by BA.2 and BA.1. Interestingly, spike-specific CD8 T-cell levels after NVX-CoV2373-vaccination were significantly lower and were detectable in 3/22 (14%) individuals only. In contrast, spike-specific CD4 T-cells were induced in 18/22 (82%) individuals. However, CD4 T-cell levels were lower (p |
