Expert explains why mass-immunization of young children in the UK is not essential

Throughout the pandemic the University of Huddersfield's Department of Pharmacy has been raising awareness on what vaccines are, how they are formulated, and why they're an important part of the healthcare strategy as well as the progress on further developments in COVID vaccines, so that people can make an educated decision on becoming vaccinated or if choosing for their children.

Mucosal COVID vaccine candidate powerfully protective in macaques

A recent research paper posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server illustrated the protective efficacy of the intranasal pediatric parainfluenza virus-vectored coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine prospect, B/HPIV3/S-6P, in macaques.

26 May 2022

Association between reactogenicity and immunogenicity in SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-1273 vaccination

A recent study currently under review at Scientific Reports journal and posted to the Research Square* preprint server demonstrated a potential positive correlation between reactogenicity and immunogenicity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination.
