Abstract

Background: Longitudinal surveys to monitor the seroprevalence are required to support efforts for assessment of the levels of endemic stability in certain countries. We investigated seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2-S1 receptor-binding domain (RBD)-specific antibodies in the serum samples in 2011-2021, including a cohort study of 2019-2021, to evaluate the vaccination and anti-IgG-SARS-CoV-2-S1 RBD-positive statuses to assess the resistance and severity of COVID-19.
Materials and methods: Anti-SARS-CoV-2-S1 RBD-specific antibodies were assayed in the serum samples (N = 565) randomly selected from various cohorts previously recruited from 2011 to 2021 from the city of Moscow and Moscow Region. Among them there were the participants (N = 310) recruited in 2019-2021 with an endpoint of 30 October 2021 when these participants were interviewed over phone with relevant questionnaire.
Results: Obtained data indicated a percentage of 3-6% of SARS-CoV-2-S1 RBD-specific antibodies detected in participants recruited in 2011-2019. The percentage of SARS-CoV-2-S1 RBD-specific antibodies was increased to 16.5% in 2020 and to 46% in 2021. The vaccination rate of 238 respondents of this cohort was 58% from August 2020 to October 2021. In total, 12% of respondents were hospitalized. The morbidity rate in the subgroup of anti-SARS-CoV-2-S1 RBD-positive respondents was 5.4-fold higher than that in the subgroup of vaccinated respondents.
Conclusions: A small percentage of SARS-CoV-2-S1 RBD-specific antibodies detected in 2011-2019 indicated possible spreading of coronaviruses during the pre-pandemic period. Collective immunity in Moscow and the Moscow region was able to reach 69% from August 2020 to October 2021 if this rate is added to the rate of not vaccinated SARS-CoV-2-S1 RBD-positive subjects.
