Macdonald, Schaub et al. measure apparent antibody affinities to the ACE-2 receptor binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in recipients of the Pfizer, Moderna and J&J vaccines. All vaccinated individuals develop high-affinity antibodies, however the affinities are weaker to Delta and Omicron variants compared to ancestral virus.
