This study investigated the adaptive immune responses after three doses of the Pfizer BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine in SARS-CoV-2-naive and preimmune individuals. IgG, B cell, and T cell Spike-specific responses were assessed. Prior infection significantly increased neutralizing antibodies and specific CD4+ T cell subsets, but the long-term benefit was minimal. Both groups showed similar immune memory quality and quantity after the three-dose regimen. The study provides insights into the durability of mRNA vaccine-induced immunity and the effects of preimmunity.
