Administration of the third dose of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine was initiated on December 1, 2021, in Japan. However, data on the long-term effects of this third vaccination remain scarce. Here, we examined the levels of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in those who received the Pfizer BioNTech (BNT162b2) vaccine, 6 months after the third vaccination.
