Background: Homologous and heterologous SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccinations yield different spike protein‐directed humoral and cellular immune responses. This study aimed to explore their currently unknown interdependencies. Methods: COV‐ADAPT is a prospective, observational cohort study of 417 healthcare workers who received vaccination with homologous ChAdOx1 nCoV‐19, homologous BNT162b2 or with heterologous ChAdOx1 nCoV‐19/BNT162b2. We assessed humoral (anti‐spike‐RBD‐IgG, neutralizing antibodies, and avidity) and cellular (spike‐induced T‐cell interferon‐γ release) immune responses in blood samples up to 2 weeks before (T1) and 2–12 weeks following secondary immunization (T2). Results: Initial vaccination with ChAdOx1 nCoV‐19 resulted in lower anti‐spike‐RBD‐IgG compared with BNT162b2 (70 ± 114 vs. 226 ± 279 BAU/ml, p <.01) at T1. Booster vaccination with BNT162b2 proved superior to ChAdOx1 nCoV‐19 at T2 (anti‐spike‐RBD‐IgG: ChAdOx1 nCoV‐19/BNT162b2 2387 ± 1627 and homologous BNT162b2 3202 ± 2184 vs. homologous ChAdOx1 nCoV‐19 413 ± 461 BAU/ml, both p <.001; spike‐induced T‐cell interferon‐γ release: ChAdOx1 nCoV‐19/BNT162b2 5069 ± 6733 and homologous BNT162b2 4880 ± 7570 vs. homologous ChAdOx1 nCoV‐19 1152 ± 2243 mIU/ml, both p <.001). No significant differences were detected between BNT162b2‐boostered groups at T2. For ChAdOx1 nCoV‐19, no booster effect on T‐cell activation could be observed. We found associations between anti‐spike‐RBD‐IgG levels (ChAdOx1 nCoV‐19/BNT162b2 and homologous BNT162b2) and T‐cell responses (homologous ChAdOx1 nCoV‐19 and ChAdOx1 nCoV‐19/BNT162b2) from T1 to T2. Additionally, anti‐spike‐RBD‐IgG and T‐cell response were linked at both time points (all groups combined). All regimes yielded neutralizing antibodies and increased antibody avidity at T2. Conclusions: Interdependencies between humoral and cellular immune responses differ between common SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccination regimes. T‐cell activation is unlikely to compensate for poor humoral responses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
