Psychological correlates of antibody response to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination: A prospective observational cohort study
Lower levels of depressive symptoms and greater positive mood were associated with larger antibody responses following mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in a community sample attending for their first course of COVID-19 vaccinations. As both are amenable to change, they could offer mechanisms for enhancing vaccine effectiveness particularly among populations at greater risk of vaccine failure.
