This study evaluates neutralizing antibody responses and efficacy against BA.5 challenge in male Syrian hamsters after primary vaccination with Ad26.COV2.S (Janssen) or BNT162b2 (Pfizer/BioNTech) followed by homologous or heterologous boosters. One high or low dose of Ad26.COV2.S provided more durable immunity than two doses of BNT162b2, and the NVX-CoV2373 booster provided the strongest immunity and protection against BA.5 infection. The data demonstrate the immunogenicity and efficacy of different prime/boost regimens against BA.5.
