Abstract

Read online

Despite a rise in COVID-19 cases among children, there is limited understanding of the antibody responses mounted, compared to in adults. In this work, authors compare seroconversion rates and antibody responses in unvaccinated Australian children across the three SARS-CoV-2 waves (Wuhan, Delta and Omicron).
