Key Points Question Are there differences in the magnitude and durability of neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) according to the mRNA-1273 (Moderna) and BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) vaccines? Findings In this comparative effectiveness study of 637 immunocompromised patients and 204 healthy control participants who received 2 doses of messenger RNA COVID-19 vaccines, nAb responses against the Beta and Delta variants were short lived (3 to 7 months) compared with original, nonvariant SARS-CoV-2 and other variants. Higher nAb titers and longer durability of humoral responses were associated with vaccination with the mRNA-1273 vaccine. Meaning The faster disappearance of the nAb responses in certain groups of immunocompromised patients suggests that boosting vaccine strategies need to be personalized to the underlying disease.
