Fig. 4. Dynamics of circulating neutralizing antibody levels against RBD after the first dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine using a non-linear model.

Fig. 4

Distribution of neutralizing antibody levels, represented in log10(IU/ml), over time (days from the first vaccine) in infection-naive individuals (left), in individuals previously infected with a variant before Omicron (middle), and in individuals infected with Omicron (right). Circles and triangles represent the observed levels of circulating neutralizing antibody in females and males, respectively. Solid and dashed lines represent the predicted levels of circulating neutralizing antibody calculated by the model in females and males, respectively. Black, yellow, and blue colors represent individuals with age <40, 40–60, and >60 years, respectively. Horizontal black dotted line represents the threshold for assay positivity. Vertical dashed and dashed-dotted lines represent when the second and the third dose was administered, respectively (median days). Shadowed areas represent the 95% confidence interval. Centre for the confidence interval is the predicted (mean) values. Predictive values in the gray-shaded area (days 250–350) do not represent a realistic projection due to insufficient observed data to provide realistic predictive data.
