Values in the table are n (%). The thresholds for seropositivity and seroprotection were defined as 1.0 AU/mL and 5458 AU/mL, respectively using the Architect assay; and 0.8 U/mL and 753 U/mL, respectively using the Elecsys assay. P values were calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, depending on the number of participants that exceeded the seropositivity or seroprotection threshold.

BMI: body mass index; anti-RBD: anti-SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain spike protein IgG; Architect: Architect SARS-CoV-2 IgG Ⅱ Quant (Abbott Laboratories); Elecsys: Elecsys anti-SARS-CoV-2 S (Roche Diagnostics); S0: Within 1 week before the first vaccination, S1: Within 1 week before the second vaccination, S2: 4–5 weeks after the second vaccination, S3: 6 months after the second vaccination.
