Brief Summary:
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is potentially a deadly disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that targets the lung mainly, resulting in respiratory tract infections in humans. It has developed into a pandemic with serious global public health problems.
Recent research has shown that the new SARS-CoV-2 variants reduces the efficacy of the vaccinations and are predominantly more transmissible or infective. A few countries namely Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, and Turkey have recently started introducing a booster dose following primary two doses of the COVID-19 immunization series.
This study aims to identify which booster dose is more effective; taking a booster dose from the same vaccine initially taken or a booster dose from a different vaccine than initially taken.

Detailed Description:
According to the World Health Organization COVID-19 Dashboard, the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, has caused over 181 million infections and more than 3 million deaths worldwide as of July 1, 2021. COVID-19 is potentially a deadly disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that targets the lung mainly resulting in respiratory tract infections in humans. This has become a serious concern for public health.
Among the currently approved COVID-19 vaccines in the Kingdom of Bahrain, BBIBP-CorV (inactivated virus) vaccine and BNT162b2 (mRNA vaccine) is being administered to the population.
Inactivated vaccines have been extensively studied. In a phase 1/2 trial, the BBIBP-CorV vaccine has shown to be generally safe against COVID-19 and induce antibody responses. However, WHO's Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) experts have summarized information from clinical trials in Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, and China indicating that individuals with comorbidities and older adults (≥60 years) who received 2 doses of BBIBP-CorV have low confidence in the efficacy of preventing COVID-19.
Current clinical trials have played a key role in the approval of different COVID vaccines based on their efficacy data, however, there is still uncertainty regarding the duration of protection from these vaccines towards the COVID -19 virus. Recent evidence has shown that the new SARS-CoV-2 variants reduces the efficacy of the vaccinations and are predominantly more transmissible or infective.
A few countries namely Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, and Turkey have recently started introducing a booster dose following primary two doses of the COVID-19 immunization series. The enhanced humoral response has been seen in homologous vaccination. Heterologous vaccination has shown to significantly induce more immunogenicity than homologous vector boost, and higher or comparable to the homologous mRNA regimens. Strong humoral and immune response has also been induced by heterologous vector-mRNA boosting with an acceptable reactogenicity profile.
To our knowledge, there has been no research conducted to date on the reactogenic and immunogenetic response of a COVID-19 booster dose after completing the primary two doses of the COVID-19 immunization series. This study will compare the reactogenic and immunogenetic response of heterologous BNT162b2 booster dose after completing two doses of BBIBP-CorV vaccination versus homologous BBIBP-CorV booster after completing two doses of BBIBP-CorV vaccination.
