  Flaxman., et al. a groups of investigators from the University of Oxford, United Kingdom demonstrated the results studied in COVID-19-vaccinated participants in a preprint published on June 28, 2021 that for those who had 8 to 12 week (median age 39), 15 to 25 week (median age 36), and 44 to 45 week (median age 32) intervals between the first and second COVID-19-vaccine doses, the median level of IgG antibody at the day 28 after the second dose were 923, 1,860, and 3,738 tIgG EU, respectively [1]. These results indicated the longer dose intervals the higher IgG-antibody levels [1]. They identified the median 278 and 1,240 tIgG EU in the groups who had a 8 to 12 week and a 15 to 25 week intervals, respectively after 6 months of the second dose, whereas the data for the 44 to 45 week-interval group are not yet available [1]. After the second dose, the IgG binding titers to the four SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) variants (alpha, beta, delta, and D614G) tested were significant higher than before the second dose [1]. Among 75 first-two-dose-received participants with an interval of 8 to 16 weeks, the IgG antibody levels were 1,792 and 3,746 tIgG EU at the day 28 after the second dose and after the third (boosted) dose, respectively [1].
