Most U.S. states failed to prioritize cancer patients for COVID-19 vaccine rollout

Almost two-thirds of U.S. states failed to prioritize cancer patients for COVID-19 vaccinations, despite recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to a study being presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.

Preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission at large indoor events

A new trial showed that indoor live events are not associated with an increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, provided preventive interventions are in place.

Longer interval between COVID-19 mRNA vaccine doses leads to stronger immune response

The first peer-reviewed study in North America examining the timing between the first and second doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines shows that a longer dose interval leads to a stronger immune response. The study is funded by the Government of Canada through its COVID-19 Immunity Task Force.

Longer between-dose intervals for COVID-19 vaccines may significantly reduce mortality

A recent study, currently available on the medRxiv* preprint server, has shown how longer dosing intervals of vaccines against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) may be able to minimize mortality in low- and middle-income countries in the WHO European region – and significantly change our vaccination strategy.

Scientists develop a smartwatch-based device for early detection of COVID-19

Scientists have developed a wearable device that can detect the early onset of COVID-19 in real-time by analyzing the aberrant changes in physiological parameters caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.

COVID-19 infections in the fully vaccinated are rare but are common in people with weak immune systems

A real-world retrospective cohort study involving nearly 1.2 million people shows COVID-19 infections in the 'fully' vaccinated are rare but are more common and severe in people with weaker immune systems.

COVID-19 vaccination coverage and breakthrough infections in urban slums of India

A new study aimed to identify COVID-19 vaccination coverage, examine the factors responsible for COVID-19 vaccination coverage and vaccine hesitancy, study adverse events following immunization patterns after COVID-19 vaccination and determine the prevalence of breakthrough infection after COVID-19 vaccination.

Interventions most effective in containing SARS-CoV-2 spread

A new study finds that viral transmission cannot be contained effectively using individual interventions at realistic levels of compliance.

COVID vaccines effectively reduce outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 alpha and delta viruses in households

A team of UK-based scientists has recently evaluated the effectiveness of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines in preventing household transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in England.
