a Comparison of antibody response of the vaccinees (n = 35) at days 21, 90 and 180 using the SFB assays with cells expressing either the Wuhan ancestral virus (W), the delta (D) or Omicron (O) variants of the Spike protein. Median values of the samples were at day 21, 90 and 180 respectively 39.8%, 37.9% and 20.2 for the Wuhan strain; 8.45%, 20% and 8.8% for Delta;0.13%, 4.5% and 1.1% for Omicron. **p < 0.001, two-sided Mann–Whitney test. b Comparison between age groups: <60 (n = 17) and ≥60 (n = 18), at different time points (days 21, 90 and 180) using SFB with cells expressing either the wild-type Wuhan ancestral virus (W) or the delta (D) or Omicron (O) variants of the Spike protein. The median value of each group is represented by a red line. They were respectively at days 21, 90 and 180: Wuhan ancestral strain, 39,8%, 45,4% and 19.1% (<60) and 9%, 28.7%, and 23.96% (≥60); Delta variant: 25.4%, 22.2% and 7% (<60) and 5%, 17.4%, and 9.5% (≥60); and Omicron variant: 0.8%, 5% and 7% (<60) and 0.06%, 3.8%, and 0.4% (≥60). **p < 0.001, Friedman test when the three strains were compared together, or two-sided Mann–Whitney test when the same strain was compared between the two age groups.
