The effectiveness of prior vaccination with 1 dose of vaccine ranged from 72.8% to 91% for the Jeryl Lynn strain, from 54.4% to 93% for the Urabe strain, and from 0% to 33% for the Rubini strain.

While the number of immunoreactive epitopes remained consistent across all groups, we observed a shift in T‐cell responses: naive ...
