BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The transplacental vertical transfer of maternal antibodies was determined to be a crucial factor in conferring protective immunity to infants following delivery, and this study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of maternal preconception COVID-19 vaccination on infants.
METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted at the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Child Health and Diseases in Chongqing, China, spanning from July 2022 to April 2023. The study included infants from mothers with a preconception COVID-19 vaccination and (or) a SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy. Titers of SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin G (IgG) and cross-neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 variants were detected.
RESULTS: In this cohort study comprising 158 infants, it was observed that infants born to mothers who experienced a pregnancy-related breakthrough infection following a preconception vaccination had the highest titers of SARS-CoV-2 IgG and cross-neutralizing antibody activity against different variants compared to those with either of these factors alone. The transplacental vertical transmission of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies decreased significantly with increasing age, from 3.16 ODs at birth to 2.29 ODs at two months, and persisted for approximately four months after birth. The predominant subclass of passively transmitted antibodies via the placenta was found to be IgG1, and a positive correlation was observed between the titers of SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgG1 (R = 0.59, p < 0.001; Slope: 0.49 ± 0.070, p < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: Maternal preconception COVID-19 vaccination represents a promising immunological strategy for conferring postnatal protection to infants, especially during the period of heightened risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 infection. It is imperative to underscore the significance of vaccination for women who are preparing to become pregnant or are pregnant, and concerted efforts must be made to promote vaccination among eligible women.
