SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern (VoCs) negatively impact the effectiveness of vaccines. In this study, we challenge hamsters with the Delta variant after two- or three-dose inoculations with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines constructed from stabilized prefusion spike proteins (S-2P) of Wuhan (W) and Beta (B) variants. Compared to three doses of W S-2P, two doses of W S-2P followed by a third dose of B S-2P induced the highest neutralizing antibody titer against live SARS-CoV-2 virus and enhanced neutralization of Omicron variant pseudovirus. Reduced lung live virus titer and pathology suggested that all vaccination regimens protect hamsters from SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant challenge.
