Background: We chronicle SARS-CoV-2 sero-prevalence through eight cross-sectional sero-surveys (snapshots) in the Lower Mainland (Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley), British Columbia, Canada from March 2020 to August 2022.
Methods: Anonymized-residual sera were obtained from children and adults attending an outpatient laboratory network. Sera were tested with at least three immuno-assays per snapshot to detect spike (S1) and/or nucleocapsid protein (NP) antibodies. Sero-prevalence was defined by dual-assay positivity, including any or infection-induced, the latter requiring S1+NP antibody detection from January 2021 owing to vaccine availability. Infection-induced estimates were used to assess the extent to which surveillance case reports under-estimated infections.
Results: Sero-prevalence was ≤1% by the 3rd snapshot in September 2020 and <5% by January 2021 (4th). Following vaccine roll-out, sero-prevalence increased to >55% by May/June 2021 (5th), ~80% by September/October 2021 (6th), and >95% by March 2022 (7th). In all age groups, infection-induced sero-prevalence remained <15% through September/October 2021, increasing through subsequent Omicron waves to ~40% by March 2022 (7th) and ~60% by July/August 2022 (8th). By August 2022, at least 70-80% of children ≤19 years, 60-70% of adults 20-59 years, but ~40% of adults ≥60 years had been infected. Surveillance case reports under-estimated infections by 12-fold between the 6th-7th and 92-fold between the 7th-8th snapshots.
Interpretation: By August 2022, most children and adults had acquired SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and infection exposures, resulting in more robust hybrid immunity. Conversely the elderly, still at greatest risk of severe outcomes, remain largely-dependent on vaccine-induced protection alone, and should be prioritized for additional doses.

“…A serum sample collected post 8 days re-infection was tested by Anti-SARS-CoV-2 human IgG ELISAs namely, whole virion inactivated antigen, receptor Binding Domain of Spike Protein (S1RBD) specific IgG and Nucleocapsid (N) protein IgG capture ELISA as described earlier 7 .IgG antibody titre was found 1:400, 1:1300 and 1:80 for whole antigen, S1-RBD and N protein ELISA. Although the case had a breakthrough infection followed by a reinfection, the antibody titres were lower than expected.…”
“…The significant increase in SRBD antibodies in COVID-19 survivors could be due to memory B cells having recognized antigens from SARS-CoV-2 vision so that when a similar antigen enters the body, the body's immune response will quickly release antibodies. Examination of SRBD antibody levels after vaccination can be one way of monitoring antibody responses in individuals, especially in someone who has a high risk of being exposed (Deshpande et al 2021).…”
Highlights
The research this for determine the presence of immune response post-vaccine
The results of this study indicate that there are differences in immune responses, in survivors patients have higher SRBD antibody levels than non-survivors
Abstract :
The development of a vaccine for SARS-COV-2 began in mid-2020 with the aim of stimulating an individual's immune response against SARS-CoV-2 infection. The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of post-vaccine SRBD antibody secreted in COVID-19 survivors and non-survivors. Antibodies are considered to play a more important role in evaluating immunity because antibody tests may provide information about a person's immune status against SARS-CoV-2. The study was conducted at Husada Utama Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, in April – May 2021. The samples were taken prospectively with a total sample of 60 patients, consisting of 40 non-survivors and 20 survivors of COVID-19 who had received Sinovac vaccine doses 1 and 2. Examination of Sars-CoV-2 SRBD antibody was conducted by using CL series of Mindray device by means of CLIA method. The average level of antibody was assessed in each sample group and the results were subjected to the Mann Whitney test. The mean SRBD antibody level in female patients was 428.24 ± 271.25, while in male patients it was 310.40 ± 113.71 U/mL. The results of the Mann Whitney test revealed a P-Value of 0.09 > 0.05, indicating no difference in post-vaccine SRBD antibody levels between females and males, but there were differences in SRBD antibody levels in COVID-19 survivors and non-survivors with a P-Value of <, i.e. 0.00 < 0.05 There was no difference in post-vaccine SRBD antibody levels between females and males in COVID-19 survivors and non-survivors, but there were differences in post-vaccine antibody levels between COVID-19 survivors and non-survivors.
