dc.description.abstractObjectives: We aimed to determine the antibody levels created by COVID-19 vaccination in healthcare workers and the factors affecting the antibody response.Methods: Our research is a single-center, observational study that was prospectively designed and retrospectively analyzed at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and included 103 healthcare workers who received the three-dose regimen of COVID-19 vaccine. In accordance with the recommendations of the Ministry of Health of Turkey, the first two doses of CoronaVac vaccine were administered routinely, while the booster dose was given as BioNTech or CoronaVac (heterologous or homologous vaccination) depending on the preference of the volunteers. Antibody titers against the SARS-CoV-2 were measured in all individuals at different time points (1 month after the second dose of CoronaVac, before the booster dose [BioNTech or CoronaVac] at the fifth month and one month after the booster dose) with AESKULISA & REG; SARS-CoV-2 S1 IgG (AESKU DIAGNOSTICS, Wendelsheim, Germany).Results: The mean age was 39.98 & PLUSMN;11.31 years, 62.1% of whom were women and 54.4% of them were accompanied by comorbid disease. After two doses of CoronaVac, the antibody titer averaged 49.50 & PLUSMN;33.15 U/mL in the 1st month (antibody seropositivity 86%) and the antibody titer decreased 24.01 & PLUSMN;33.48 U/mL (antibody seropositivity 49.5%) at 5th month. The mean antibody titer was found 59.73 & PLUSMN;60.20 U/ml in those who received the booster dose of homologous and 185.07 & PLUSMN;46.28 U/mL in those who were heterologous (p<0.001). Antibody levels were detected significantly lower after the booster dose of vaccination in patients with Conclusion: Our study, which reflects the data within the scope of the Turkey Ministry of Health's COVID-19 vaccination program determined that the antibody response after heterologous vaccination is better than in homologous vaccination. Antibody titer but after the booster dose antibody levels decreased significantly in those with comorbidity.en_US
