Adaptive immunity against SARS-CoV-2 is persistent and robust in COVID-convalescent children

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection incites adaptive cellular immune responses. In many SARS-CoV-2 studies, peripheral blood is analyzed to study the immune responses. Now, a new study under consideration at the Nature Portfolio Journal analyzes the peripheral blood, tonsils, and adenoids of children to understand local and systemic immune responses to SARS-CoV-2.

Study shows third dose of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine against COVID-19 is both safe and effective

A research paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine has demonstrated how a third dose of Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2) vaccine administered in a median period of 10.8 months after the second one bestowed 95.3% efficacy against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), in comparison with two doses of the same vaccine during a median follow-up of 2.5 months.

A novel mRNA vaccine encoding delta RBD induces high neutralizing antibody titers

A team of international scientists has developed an mRNA-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine encoding the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) delta variant. The vaccine candidate has shown high efficacy in inducing neutralizing antibodies and protecting against delta infection in mice. The study is currently available on the bioRxiv* preprint server.
