Evaluating the exclusion of unvaccinated people in the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 transmission

New study results suggest that the numbers needed to exclude model and baseline infection risk could be key indicators of the drawbacks and benefits of vaccine mandates and vaccine passports.

Risk of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection in children compared to adults

The current study aimed to explore the rate and risk of SARS-CoV-2 reinfections in children.

New mRNA vaccine platform provides stronger protection against SARS-CoV-2 delta variant

A group of researchers from various institutions developed a nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccine that encodes the SARS-CoV-2 N protein (mRNA-N) and is formulated in lipid nanoparticles for this investigation (LNP).

Determination of the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination using T cell receptor repertoire

A new study published on the bioRxiv preprint server has hypothesized that T cell receptors (TCR) repertoire can measure the response to vaccines, as it would identify the TCR of clones that respond to the vaccination.

MV130 immunotherapy boosts natural and vaccine-induced SARS-CoV-2 immunity in mice

A new mouse study found that intranasal administration of MV130 protected against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

Nasal infection drives lethal lung injury due to SARS-CoV-2 in mice

A new study demonstrates lethal infection of the olfactory epithelium in a mouse model that could help understand the mechanisms of COVID-19.

12 Dec 2021

Effectiveness of COVID-19 booster vaccination strategies in partially vaccinated populations

Study reveals that the most beneficial vaccination strategy is to distribute all available doses of COVID-19 vaccines predominantly for primary vaccinations and the remaining doses for boosters.

Even if SARS-CoV-2 Omicron evades antibodies, immunity still exists

Researchers determined antibody-mediated neutralization efficacy against the authentic SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant.

12 Dec 2021

New tool to help map immune escape with SARS-CoV-2 mutations

A new study discusses a computational program that can be used to substitute for actual experimental evidence of the biologic impact of new mutations.

Vaccinated, previously-infected people could have some "stronger than basic" defense against Omicron variant

Published today, one of the earliest, peer-reviewed studies looking into the Omicron variant of COVID-19 suggests that people previously infected with COVID, and those vaccinated, will have some, "stronger than basic" defense against this new strain of concern.
