As of November 2021, several SARS-CoV-2 variants appeared and became dominant epidemic strains in many countries, including five concern (VOCs) Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Omicron defined by the World Health Organization during COVID-19 pandemic. August 2022, is classified into main lineages, BA.1, BA.2, BA.3, BA.4, BA.5 some sublineages (BA.1.1, BA.2.12.1, BA.2.11, BA.2.75, BA.4.6) (https://www.gisaid.org/). Compared to previous VOCs (Alpha, Delta), all lineages have most highly mutations spike protein, with 50 accumulated throughout genome. Early data indicated that BA.2 sublineage had higher infectivity more immune escape than early wild-type (WT) strain, VOCs, BA.1. Recently, global surveillance suggest a transmissibility BA.4/BA.5 BA.1.1 becoming strain countries globally.

The recent emergence of the Omicron variant has raised concerns on vaccine efficacy and urgent need to study more efficient vaccination strategies. Here we observed that an mRNA booster in individuals vaccinated with two doses inactivated significantly increased plasma level specific antibodies bind receptor-binding domain (RBD) or spike (S) ectodomain (S1 + S2) both G614 variants, compared homologous vaccine. RBD- S-specific IgG virus neutralization titers against variants concern heterologous group were similar receiving three mRNA-vaccine a boost after infection, but markedly higher than This regime furthermore enhanced RBD-specific memory B cell response S1-specific T response, Our demonstrates vaccines can be highly beneficial, as it increases humoral cellular immune responses virus, including variant.
