Neutralizing antibody titers over 12 months after SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine booster in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis continuously treated with ofatumumab by Tjalf Ziemssen, Marie Groth, Benjamin Ettle, Tobias Bopp

“…One initially seronegative patient had less than 2-fold increase in neutralizing antibody titers after the booster vaccination and can be considered a non-responder. Most patients with continued ofatumumab treatment are able to maintain permanent seropositivity and therefore presumably constant protection against severe courses of COVID-19 if repeated booster vaccinations are applied.…”
