Abstract

A post-hoc analysis of the phase 2 data was performed for the SARS-COV-2 subunit protein vaccine MVC-COV1901. Anti-spike IgG, neutralization assays with live virus and pseudovirus were used to demonstrate age-dependent vaccine-induced antibody response to the vaccine. Results showed that an association exists between age and immune responses to the vaccine, providing further support for the need of booster shots, especially for the older age groups.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
