Abstract:
Subclinical malaria may reduce the immunogenicity of mRNA vaccines. We evaluated neutralizing antibody responses in adults with (n=87) and without (n=221) PCR-confirmed Plasmodium falciparum who received a COVID-19 booster. Similar boosted ID50 geometric mean titers >22,000 in parasitemic and non-parasitemic participants suggests that COVID-19 mRNA vaccine responses are not impaired.
