About The Study: Reduction in antibody levels five months after the third BioNTech/Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine dose among nearly 4,000 health care workers in Israel was slower than after the second, while Omicron's neutralizing response was lower compared with other variants of concern. Peak antibody levels after the third dose were associated with Omicron infection.
