We compared antibody and T cell responses against the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine strain spike protein to responses against the Omicron variant in 15 mRNA vaccine recipients. While these individuals had significantly lower levels of antibodies that inhibited Omicron spike protein binding to ACE2, there was no difference in T cell responses.
