  1. Previously infected subjects = subjects previously infected with SARS-CoV-2, Not previously infected subjects = subjects not infected with SARS-CoV-2, For previously infected subjects: T0 = baseline pre-vaccination after SARS-CoV-2 infection, T1 = 8 days after the unique dose, T2 I = 1 month after the unique dose, T3 = 3 months after the unique dose, T6 = 6 months after the unique dose, T9 = 9 months after the unique dose, T boost = 8 days after the administration of a further boost dose. For not infected subjects: T0 = baseline pre-vaccination, T1 = 20 days after the first dose, T2 I = 8 days after the second dose, T2 II = 1 month after the second dose, T3 = 3 months after the second dose, T6 = 6 months after the second dose, T9 = 9 months after the second dose, T boost = 8 days after the administration of boost dose, mean FC = mean fold changes of anti-SARS-CoV-2 S mean geometric titers, min FC = minimum value of fold changes of anti-SARS-CoV-2 S mean geometric titers, max FC = maximum value of fold changes of anti-SARS-CoV-2 S mean geometric titers, n = number of subjects
