Persistent COVID-19 symptoms among South Africans infected during SARS-CoV-2 Beta, Delta and Omicron variant waves

Researchers longitudinally followed up hospitalized (H) and non-hospitalized (NH) COVID-19 patients for six months after laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections to identify factors that increase the risk of post-COVID-19 condition development in the South African population.

4 Nov 2022

Efficacy of booster messenger ribonucleic acid COVID-19 vaccinations against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant severity

Researchers estimated the effectiveness of monovalent messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant of concern (VOC) infection severity outcomes among adults.
