    Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 vaccine BBV152/Covaxin is well-tolerated and was shown to be 77.8% efficacious against symptomatic and 93.4% efficacious against severe symptomatic COVID-19 disease in adults. Previous studies have shown that sera from Covaxin vaccinated individuals have neutralizing activity against B.1.1.7 (Alpha), B.1.351 (Beta), B.1.617.2 (Delta), B.1.1.28 (Zeta), and B.1.617.1 (Kappa) SARS-CoV-2 variants. The B.1.1.529 variant (Omicron) recently emerged in November 2021 and has spread throughout the world. The Omicron variant has more than 30 mutations within the spike protein that could impact vaccine-mediated immunity. We used a live virus neutralization assay to evaluate the neutralizing activity against the Omicron variant of sera collected from subjects who received a booster dose (6- month after primary series last dose) of Covaxin. We found that sera from Covaxin boosted individuals showed neutralizing activity against D614G (vaccine strain), Delta, and Omicron variants. One hundred percent of boosted subjects showed neutralizing activity against the Delta variant while over 90% of boosted subjects showed neutralizing activity against the Omicron variant. These findings show that a booster dose of Covaxin can generate robust neutralizing antibody responses against the Omicron variant.

    Abstract Purpose: Vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) play a critical role in protection from SARS CoV-2. Patients with B-cell malignancies including myeloma are at increased risk of COVID-19-related mortality and exhibit variable serologic response to the vaccine. The capacity of vaccine-induced antibodies in these patients to neutralize SARS CoV-2 or its variants is not known.
    Methods: Sera from 238 patients with multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing SARS CoV-2 vaccination were analyzed. Antibodies against the SARS CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain (RBD) and viral nucleocapsid were measured to detect serologic response to vaccine and environmental exposure to the virus. The capacity of antibodies to neutralize virus was quantified using pseudovirus neutralization assay and live virus neutralization against the initial SARS CoV-2 strain and the B1.617.2 (Delta) variant.
    Results: Vaccine-induced nAbs are detectable at much lower rates (54%) than estimated in previous seroconversion studies in MM, which did not monitor viral neutralization. In 33% of patients, vaccine-induced antispike RBD antibodies lack detectable neutralizing capacity, including against the B1.617.2 variant. Induction of nAbs is affected by race, disease, and treatment-related factors. Patients receiving mRNA1273 vaccine (Moderna) achieved significantly greater induction of nAbs compared with those receiving BNT162b2 (Pfizer; 67%
    Conclusion: These data show that vaccine-induced antibodies in several patients with MM lack detectable virus-neutralizing activity. Vaccine-mediated induction of nAbs is affected by race, disease, vaccine, and treatment characteristics. These data have several implications for the emerging application of booster vaccines in immunocompromised hosts.
