This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
The Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine showed high efficacy in clinical trials but observational data from populations not included in trials are needed. We described immunogenicity 21 days post-dose 1 among 514 Israeli healthcare workers by age, gender, ethnicity and prior COVID19 infection. Immunogenicity was similar by gender and ethnicity but decreased with age. Those with prior infection had antibody titres one magnitude order higher than naive individuals regardless of the presence of detectable IgG antibodies pre-vaccination.
