FQHCs have played a key role in enabling COVID-19 vaccine equity among people of color

Racial and ethnic disparities in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths have persisted throughout the pandemic, and improving vaccine access and uptake among the populations that are disproportionately impacted remains one of the most critical ways to stop the spread of the virus.

SARS-CoV-2 viral mutations shown to have a limited effect on T cell immunity

New research suggests that viral mutations have a minimal effect on T cell immunity, which could explain the protection provided by vaccination against severe COVID-19, despite the significant loss of neutralizing antibodies.

Effectiveness of prior infection in preventing reinfection with Omicron and other SARS-CoV-2 variants in Qatar

Researchers estimate the effectiveness of prior infection in preventing reinfection (PEs) with Omicron and other SARS-CoV-2 variants for the resident population of Qatar.

T cells induced by common cold coronaviruses play a protective role against COVID-19 infection

A new study, published in Nature Communications and led by Imperial College London researchers, provides the first evidence of a protective role for these T cells.

Neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 variants by three-dose mRNA vaccinated kidney transplant recipient sera

In a new study, researchers determined three-dose messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccinated kidney transplant recipients’ (KTRs) neutralizing responses against SARS-COV-2 variants, breakthrough coronavirus disease 2019 infection rate, and transplant rejection rate.

Social distancing surveillance: how robots will keep you in line

Could a COVID-19 robot help in social distancing surveillance? We spoke to Professor Dinesh Manocha and Adarsh Jagan Sathyamoorthy about how their new robot may be able to do just that.
