To study vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants isolated in Osaka, Japan, microneutralization tests were performed on serum samples from 32subjects who received a second dose of vaccination, and 10 of those who received the third dose of vaccination. Geometric mean titres (GMTs) for the D614G strain, Alpha variant, Delta variant, and Omicron BA.1 of the subjects after the second dose of vaccination were 19.5, 21.8, 6.3 and 2.0, respectively. The GMT for the Delta variant was significantly lower than that for the D614G strain and Alpha variant, and the GMT for the Omicron BA.1 was significantly lower than that for the Delta variant. Among the subjects who received three doses of vaccination, the GMTs for the Omicron BA.1 (62.8) and BA.2 (38.6) were significantly higher than that for the Omicron BA.1 after the second dose. Thus, in the present study, the second dose of vaccination induced neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 strains, and the reactivity of neutralizing antibodies to the variants was thought to be enhanced by the third dose of vaccination. The serum samples used in this study will be useful in evaluating the reactivity of vaccine-induced antibodies to newly emerging variants.
