Abstract
The letter to the editor discusses a study conducted in South Korea that examined the immune response to COVID-19 in healthcare workers. The study found that individuals with hybrid immunity, meaning they had both natural infection and vaccination, and higher levels of certain antibodies had a lower risk of subsequent infection. The study suggests that these antibody levels can be used as an indicator of protection against infection. However, baseline saliva IgA antibodies did not show a protective role. The study concludes that further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms involved. [Extracted from the article]
