Plain-language summary
As previously shown, individuals who experienced COVID-19 have developed some protective immunity to reinfection. The magnitude and duration of protection from reinfection conferred by the infection may be weaker after an asymptomatic infection as it is after a symptomatic COVID-19 episode. Moreover, it is known that immunity decreases among older adults compared to younger individuals often referred to as ''immune senescence,'' and leading to a decreased efficacy of vaccination.
This study raises the question of whether a single administration of BNT162b2 in participants with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to sufficient and durable immune response.
We propose to evaluate the level of the single BNT162b2 vaccine dose response according to the severity of the previous SARS-CoV-2 infection in young and elderly participants with the same immunogenicity analyses to assess this response in participants receiving the two-dose vaccination regimen.

Inclusion criteria
. 18 to 45 years old or at least 65 years old,
. Healthy adults or stable medical condition for adults with pre-existing medical conditions. A stable medical condition is defined as disease not requiring significant change in therapy or hospitalization for worsening disease during 3 months before enrolment, nor expected to require any significant change in therapy or hospitalization for worsening disease in foreseeable future.
. Group 1: Healthy adults with no previous history of SARS COV2 infection (PCR-, antigenic test- or chest TDM- or serology SARS-CoV-2-) Group 2: Healthy adults with history of infection with SARS COV 2 (PCR+, antigenic test+ or chest TDM+ or serology SARS-CoV-2 of more than 5 months) OR have been a household contact subject and have presented COVID-19 symptoms \[Experienced at least TWO of the following systemic symptoms: Fever (≥ 38ºC), chills, myalgia, headache, sorethroat, new olfactory and taste disorder(s), gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea and/or vomiting) or at least ONE of the following respiratory signs/symptoms: cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, OR clinical or radiographical evidence of pneumonia\] since at least 5 months ago and have had a positive SARS-CoV-2 serology between this episode and pre-inclusion.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring

IgG humoral response to vaccine 28 days post vaccination
Timeframe: at Day 57 for patients of the group1 and at Day 29 for patient of the group 2
. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding and one of the following conditions applies:
. Understands and agrees to comply with the study procedures (visits, phone calls) based on Investigator judgement

. Affiliated or beneficiary of a social security scheme (article L1121-11 of the Public Health Code) (AME is not a social security scheme)
. who agrees to be registered in the national file of persons who lend themselves to biomedical research (article L1121-16 of the Public Health Code).
Exclusion criteria
. Participant is ill or febrile (body temperature ≥ 38.0°C) within 72 prior hours or and/or symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 or being contact subject within the past 14 days at enrolment visit.
. Participants with positive PCR, antigenic test or chest TDM or serology to SARS-CoV-2 at the enrolment visit, only for the group1.
. Participants who already received another anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccine
. Participants who received BCG given within the last year.
. Use of immunosuppressive drugs like e.g. corticosteroids at a dosage \> 10mg equivalent prednisone /day (excluding topical preparations and inhalers) within 3 months prior to enrolment or 6 months for chemotherapies

. Received any vaccination within 4 weeks prior to first injection or plan to receive a licensed vaccine within 4 weeks after the last injection.
. History of severe adverse reactions to vaccine administration, including anaphylaxis and related symptoms, such as rash, respiratory difficulty, laryngeal oedema and abdominal pain to vaccines, or history of allergic reaction likely to be exacerbated by any component of the anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccine.
