Abstract

Various vaccines have been developed to combat the disease and its complications during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our study aimed to determine COVID-19 antibody titers in healthcare workers who received two doses of Coronavac (Sinovac) vaccine. Access SARS-CoV-2 IgG test (Beckman) was performed on blood samples taken from 186 volunteer healthcare workers who received two doses of Coronavac vaccine at Mersin University Hospital between March and September 2021. Antibody titers were determined by ELISA-based testing. Of the 186 participants included in the study, 47.8% (n = 89) were male and 52.2% (n = 97) were female. The average age is 42.3±8.7 (23-60). A significant difference was detected between the positivity rates of participants aged 40 and under and participants over 40 years of age (<=40; 68.1%, >40; 43.6%, P=0.001). It was observed that the group with the highest positive antibody titer was the 21-30 age groups. It was determined that antibody levels decreased significantly with increasing age (r=-0.203, P=0.005). There were 22 participants with comorbidities. No significant difference was observed in terms of antibody titer in patients with comorbidities compared to healthy individuals. Since our study was a short-term project, it was conducted with a small number of participants. More comprehensive studies are needed.

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında hastalık ve komplikasyonlarıyla mücadele amacıyla çeşitli aşılar geliştirilmiştir. Çalışmamızda iki doz Coronavac (Sinovac) aşısı uygulanmış sağlık çalışanlarında COVID-19 antikor titrelerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Mart- Eylül 2021 tarihleri arasında Mersin Üniversitesi Hastanesi’nde gönüllü sağlık çalışanlarından iki doz Coronavac aşısı uygulanan 186 kişiden alınan kan örneklerinden Access SARS-CoV-2 IgG testi (Beckman) uygulandı. Antikor titreleri ELISA temelli test ile tespit edildi. Çalışmaya dahil edilen 186 katılımcının %47,8’i (n=89) erkek, %52,2’si (n=97) kadındır. Yaş ortalaması 42,3±8,7 (23-60) ‘tür. 40 yaş ve altı katılımcılar ile 40 yaş üzeri katılımcıların pozitiflik oranları arasında anlamlı farklılık tespit edildi (<=40; %68,1, >40; %43,6, P=0,001). En fazla pozitif antikor titresi olan grup 21-30 yaş grubu olduğu görüldü. Yaş artışı ile birlikte antikor düzeyleri anlamlı şekilde azaldığı belirlendi (r=-0.203, P=0,001). Ek hastalığı olan 22 katılımcı vardır. Ek hastalığı olanlarda, sağlıklı olanlara göre antikor titresi açısından anlamlı farklılık gözlenmedi. Çalışmamız kısa süreli bir proje olduğu için az sayıda katılımcı ile yapılmıştır. Daha geniş kapsamlı yapılacak çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
