Background: Preliminary data across the globe shows that the AZD1222 recombinant vaccine was highly effective in preventing not only the symptoms but also the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In Ghana, data on the immune response generated by different vaccination doses is lacking. The present study aimed to compare the anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody response among single and double-vaccinated versus unvaccinated individuals. Methods: A case-control design was employed for this study. Seventy-nine participants (35 vaccinated, 44 unvaccinated) were recruited from the Sunyani West municipality and screened for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 specific IgG and IgM antibodies in plasma samples using a Standard COVID IgG and IgM Combo immunoassay test. Data analysis was carried out with STATA (version 21). Results: The current study showed that mean IgG levels among vaccine groups (Group 1: Not vaccinated, Group 2: 1 dose, Group 3: 2 doses) differed significantly (F2, 76=11.457, p |
