description <b>Background</b>: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted unprecedented vaccine development efforts against SARS-CoV-2. India, which was one of the countries most impacted by COVID-19, developed its indigenous vaccine in addition to utilizing the ones developed by other countries. While antibody levels and neutralizing antibody titres are considered initial correlates of immune protection, long-term protection from the pathogen relies on memory B and T cells and their recall responses. In this regard, global research has primarily focused on mRNA-based vaccines. The studies on immune memory response, particularly B cell memory response induced by the vaccines given to Indians, remain relatively obscure. <b>Methods</b>: We assessed Receptor Binding Domain-specific memory B cells in the peripheral circulation and their ability to secrete antigen-specific antibodies among Indians vaccinated with Covaxin (BBV152), Covishield (AZD1222), Corbevax (BECOV2D), and Sputnik Light, as well as unvaccinated individuals. <b>Results</b>: Corbevax and Sputnik Light conferred better antibody-secreting cell (ASC) responses over time compared to other groups. <b>Conclusions</b>: These findings contribute to our understanding of vaccine-induced immune memory in the Indian population; providing insights that could inform future vaccine strategies.
