Abstract

Background & aim

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine generates functional antibodies in maternal circulation that are detectable in infants, while the information is restricted to the usage of COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of maternal COVID-19 vaccines before pregnancy.

Method

Infants were included from mothers with no inactivated COVID-19 vaccine, 1-dose, 2-dose and 3-dose before pregnancy, and SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies were tested. Comparative analysis was done between the groups.

Results

A total of 130 infants were enrolled in the study. Significantly higher levels of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies in infants born to mothers with 3-dose COVID-19 vaccine before pregnancy compared with 1-dose and 2-dose groups (p<0.0001). The levels of antibodies decreased significantly with age in infants born to mothers with the 3-dose COVID-19 vaccine before pregnancy (r=-0.338, p=0.035), and it w as still higher than that 2-dose COVID-19 vaccine group.

Conclusion

The maternal SARS-CoV-2 antibodies produced from the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine before pregnancy can be transferred to newborns via the placenta. Maternal immunization with 3-dose of the COVID-19 vaccine before pregnancy could be more beneficial for both mothers and infants.
