The emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants has been a serious threat to the public health system and vaccination program. The variant of concerns have been the under investigation for their neutralizing potential against the currently available COVID-19 vaccines. Here, we have determined the neutralization efficacy of B.1.1.28.2 variant with the convalescent sera of individuals with natural infection and BBV152 vaccination. The two-dose vaccine regimen significantly boosted the IgG titer and neutralizing efficacy against both B.1.1.28.2 and D614G variants compared to that seen with natural infection. The study demonstrated 1.92 and 1.09 fold reductions in the neutralizing titer against B.1.1.28.2 variant in comparison with prototype D614G variant with sera of vaccine recipients and natural infection respectively.
