Long-term Response to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccine in Adolescents
The BNT162b2 vaccine induced robust initial immune responses in adolescents; however, the immunity waned over time. Booster doses are essential for sustained protection, especially against emerging variants. Breakthrough infections further enhance antibody responses, highlighting the benefits of hybrid immunity. The safety profile is generally favorable; however, ongoing monitoring is warranted.
