Background: Given the importance of vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the prevention of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), detailed long-term analyses of neutralising antibody responses are required to inform immunisation strategies. Methods: In this study, longitudinal neutralising antibody titres to an ancestral SARS-CoV-2 isolate and cross-neutralisation to delta and omicron isolates were analysed in individuals previously infected with SARS-CoV-2, vaccinated against COVID-19, or a complex mix thereof with up to two years of follow-up. Findings: Both infection-induced and vaccine-induced neutralising responses against SARS-CoV-2 appeared to follow similar decay patterns. Following vaccination in previously infected individuals, neutralising antibody responses were more durable than prior to vaccination. Further, this study shows that vaccination after infection, as well as booster vaccination, increases the cross-neutralising potential to both delta and omicron SARS-CoV-2 variants. Interpretation: Taken together, these results suggest that neither type of antigen exposure is superior for neutralising antibody durability. However, these results support vaccination to increase the durability and cross-neutralisation potential of neutralising responses, thereby enhancing protection against severe COVID-19.
