The invention relates to the field of biotechnology and medicine. It describes the use of vaccine compositions based on the receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 virus in the treatment of patients recovered from COVID-19 and in subjects vaccinated with vaccine platforms other than subunit vaccines, who fail to develop effective protective immunity or where immunity has decreased over time and a booster with the same vaccine used in primary vaccination is not recommended. Particularly, this use is described for vaccine compositions comprising a covalent conjugate of the receptor binding domain (RBD) and a carrier protein such as tetanus toxoid, diphtheria toxoid and diphtheria toxoid mutant CRM197, and vaccine compositions having the RBD as antigen, with or without the immunopotentiator outer membrane vesicles of serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis . |
