Boosters slow antibody waning but hit a ceiling: Long-term COVID study reveals limits of immunity

The study tracks the long-term kinetics of antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 after vaccination and infections in New York healthcare workers from 2020 to 2023. It reveals that antibody waning is slower after booster shots, but there's an upper limit to antibody levels, which gradually lowers with repeated SARS-CoV-2 exposures and vaccinations.

Are we failing to bridge the gap in HPV vaccine coverage globally?

Study reveals stark global inequities in HPV vaccine coverage across 84 countries, finding that nations with the highest burden of cervical cancer often have the lowest vaccination rates. However, new WHO recommendations and an increase in vaccine supply may help narrow this gap and improve equitable access.
