Abstract

The global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Positive detection of IgM and IgG antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2 has been recognized as an evidence for confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination.
Method: One hundred healthy health care workers from both genders over eighteen years old were participated to test their humeral response (IgG, IgM) after vaccinated with Pfizer vaccine in the vaccination center Baghdad Teaching Hospital after one week of the second shot, and one hundred healthy health care workers with matched age and gender had test of their humeral response (IgG, IgM) before they get vaccinated (control), both groups deny recent COVID-19 infection.
Result: Our finding shows that increase antibody responses of both (IgG, IgM) following vaccination with lesser extent increase of IgM titer than the obvious increase IgG titer in our entire participant compared with control.
Conclusion our result support that the vaccine successful in production of humoral immunity and protection against COVID-19 infection.
