Course: Durability of Anti-Spike Antibodies in Infants After Maternal COVID-19 Vaccination or Natural Infection

CME Credits: 1.00

Released: 2022-02-07

COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy generates functional anti-spike (anti-S) IgG antibodies in maternal circulation that are detectable in umbilical cord blood at birth and can protect newborns and infants from COVID-19.- Anti-S IgG titers in the umbilical cord are correlated with maternal titers and are highest after late second and early third trimester vaccination.- We characterized the persistence of vaccine-induced maternal anti-S IgG in infant blood and compared persistence of infant anti-S IgG after maternal vaccination vs natural infection.
