Abstract
A descriptive study was carried out with health professionals in Sao Paulo city. Were included individuals vaccinated with 2 doses of the inactivated vaccine. Demographic, clinical and vaccination information was obtained from professionals with or without comorbidities. Two serological assays were used to identify the presence and quantity of anti-Spike IgG in serum samples. 433 healthy healthcare professionals were included and 58.9 % completed the 4 clinical stages of serological assessment. Among adults and elderly people, 25.2 % had chronic diseases (hypertension 50.5 %, diabetes 10 % and obesity 6.5 %). Most individuals have 95 % protection in the first 3 months after the second dose, and 67.68 % protection after 6 months. Total antibodies ranged from 3 to 10 on the reactivity index, and the anti-RBD IgG levels were high. CoronaVac has a 94 % seroconversion rate after 2 doses and can prevent serious cases and outbreaks of the disease, if used on a large scale.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Virological Methods focuses on original, high quality research papers that describe novel and comprehensively tested methods which enhance human, animal, plant, bacterial or environmental virology and prions research and discovery.
The methods may include, but not limited to, the study of:
Viral components and morphology-
Virus isolation, propagation and development of viral vectors-
Viral pathogenesis, oncogenesis, vaccines and antivirals-
Virus replication, host-pathogen interactions and responses-
Virus transmission, prevention, control and treatment-
Viral metagenomics and virome-
Virus ecology, adaption and evolution-
Applied virology such as nanotechnology-
Viral diagnosis with novelty and comprehensive evaluation.
We seek articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and laboratory protocols that include comprehensive technical details with statistical confirmations that provide validations against current best practice, international standards or quality assurance programs and which advance knowledge in virology leading to improved medical, veterinary or agricultural practices and management.
