The potential emergence of a SARS-CoV-2 variant that is moderately or fully resistant to the antibody response elicited by the COVID-19 vaccines may necessitate modification of the vaccines. [452] The emergence of vaccine-resistant variants is more likely in a highly vaccinated population with uncontrolled transmission. [ 453 ]
Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs, also known as antinuclear factor or ANF) [2] are autoantibodies that bind to contents of the cell nucleus. In normal individuals, the immune system produces antibodies to foreign proteins but not to human proteins (autoantigens). In some cases, antibodies to human antigens are produced; these are known as ...
ACIP statements are official federal recommendations for the use of vaccines and immune globulins in the U.S., and are published by the CDC. ACIP reports directly to the CDC director, although its management and support services are provided by CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. [1]

Becoming seropositive for COVID-19 antibodies can occur due to either infection with COVID-19 itself or due to becoming vaccinated to COVID-19. [42] Being seropositive for COVID-19 does not intrinsically confer immunity or even resistance. However, higher rates of seroconversion are linked to greater clinical efficacy of vaccines.
In the United States, the CDC rolled out booster shots to immunocompromised individuals during the summer of 2021 and originally planned to allow adults to receive a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine starting in September 2021, with individuals becoming eligible starting 8 months after their second dose (for those who received a two-dose ...
