Strategies: Maternal and rope blood sera have been collected following time period supply after antenatal SARS-CoV-2 BNT162b2 mRNA vaccination, with the primary vaccine dose administered between 27 and 36 weeks of gestation. SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S) and receptor-binding area (RBD) -specific, IgG ranges and neutralizing efficiency have been evaluated in maternal and rope blood samples.

Outcomes: The examine cohort consisted of 171 parturients-median age 31 years (interquartile vary (IQR) 27-35 years); median gestational age 39⁺⁵ weeks (IQR 38⁺⁵-40⁺⁴ weeks)-83 (48.5%) have been immunized in early thrird-trimester (first dose at 27-31 weeks) and 88 (51.5%) have been immunized in late third trimester (first dose at 32-36 weeks). All mother-infant paired sera have been optimistic for anti S- and anti-RBD-specific IgG. Anti-RBD-specific IgG concentrations in neonatal sera have been increased following early versus late third-trimester vaccination (median 9620 AU/mL (IQR 5131-15332 AU/mL) versus 6697 AU/mL (IQR 3157-14731 AU/mL), p 0.02), and have been positively correlated with rising time since vaccination (r = 0.26; p 0.001). Median antibody placental switch ratios have been elevated following early versus late third-trimester immunization (anti-S ratio: 1.3 (IQR 1.1-1.6) versus 0.9 (IQR 0.6-1.1); anti-RBD-specific ratio: 2.3 (IQR 1.7-3.0) versus 0.7 (IQR 0.5-1.2), p <0.001). Neutralizing antibodies placental switch ratio was larger following early versus late third-trimester immunization (median 1.9 (IQR 1.7-2.5) versus 0.8 (IQR 0.5-1.1), p <0.001), and was positively related to longer period from vaccination (r = 0.77; p <0.001).

Conclusions: Early in contrast with late third-trimester maternal SARS-CoV-2 immunization enhanced transplacental antibody switch and elevated neonatal neutralizing antibody ranges. Our findings spotlight that vaccination of pregnant girls early within the third trimester might improve neonatal seroprotection.
