Understanding the long-term dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies is critical for evaluating vaccine-induced protection and informing booster strategies. In this longitudinal study, we analyzed 114 serum samples from 19 individuals across six time points over a three-year period following mRNA vaccination (Comirnaty) natural infection. Using pseudotype-based neutralization assays against nine variants, including major Omicron subvariants (BA.1–BA.5, BQ.1.1, XBB), anti-S1 IgG ELISA, observed that antibody levels peaked after third vaccine dose remained relatively stable two years later. Neutralization titers rose markedly second doses, with highest at post-booster. Strong correlations were found between mean pre-Omicron variants (r = 0.79–0.93; p < 0.05), but only moderate ≈ 0.50–0.64). Notably, hybrid immunity (vaccination plus infection) resulted in higher final point compared to vaccine-only participants. The lowest was XBB, underscoring immune evasiveness emerging variants. These findings support importance highlight added durability protection.
