Immunological differences in Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine-induced Fc-functional profiles

A new study analyzed the post-boost binding and functional capacity of the humoral response induced by the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines.

Can COVID-19 vaccines affect athletic performance in the short term?

Getting the COVID-19 vaccine — especially the second shot — can produce minor side effects such as aches and fever that tend to go away after a day or two. Adding to the list, a small study from the University of Arizona found that people may find it slightly challenging to exercise after getting a two-dose coronavirus vaccine.

Modeling study shows importance of contact tracing in preventing COVID-19 transmission

In the face of rising vaccination rates, untraced cases may increase the number of COVID-19 cases. A new study led by Choo-Yee Ting from Multimedia University in Malaysia found that contact tracing remains an important tool in mitigating coronavirus spread and subsequent infection.

Smell abnormalities more common among long-COVID Patients

A new study investigates the rising prevalence of abnormalities in the sense of smell persisting in COVID-19 patients.

Third vaccine dose reduces transmission and severe COVID-19 nationwide in Israel

A new preprint investigates the efficacy of a booster vaccine on a nationwide scale in reducing viral spread and the number of severe COVID-19 cases.

Antibody cocktail neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 and has projected protection up to 12 months

A new study reports long-lasting, effective protection against severe disease with the AZD7442 antibody cocktail.

Impact of COVID-19 vaccination pausing on uptake

A recent study looks at the implications of pausing vaccinations against COVID-19 due to blood clotting concerns.

Should pregnant women be vaccinated against COVID-19?

A recent study examines whether COVID-19 risks in pregnant women justify the administration of COVID-19 vaccines to pregnant individuals.

Climate and COVID-19 spread

A new study examines whether the number of infections and the mortality due to the virus is related to the temperature, rainfall, sunlight, and ultraviolet index (UVI).

Risk of COVID-19 transmission from animals to older adults

A new study in the journal GeroScience deals with this aspect of the disease, especially with respect to preventing higher death rates in older adults.

2 Sep 2021

Increased evolutionary rates seen in SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern

An Australian study conducted at the University of Melbourne describes that the emergence of more deadly variants of concern (VOCs) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is associated with an induction in episodic evolutionary rate. The study is currently available on the medRxiv* preprint server.

Booster shot of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine provides additional protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection

A team of scientists from the USA and Israel has recently highlighted the importance of a third booster dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine in achieving additional protection against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The study is currently available on the medRxiv* preprint server.

Regional differences in prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in children

A population-based study assesses seroprevalence in a representative sample of children from regions with high and low community transmission.

An assessment of post-vaccination immune response to SARS-CoV-2 Delta in elderly and health care workers

A new cohort study comparing immune responses among vaccinated elderly persons and healthcare workers has been conducted.

Study shows bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine can protect mice against lethal SARS-CoV-2 challenge

A recent US study, currently available on bioRxiv* preprint server, implies that vaccination with bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) can limit the infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by targeting innate immune pathways and could thus be used as a platform for pinpointing early immunologic events affecting the outcome of coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Do kidney transplant recipients need a third booster dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine?

A team of researchers in France have observed that the “standard” 2 dose regimen for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines could provide adequate protection to only a few KTRs. It has also been shown in multiple studies that a considerable population of vaccinated KTRs were easily infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Can barrier gestures be relaxed without causing a COVID-19 resurgence in France?

A new study focused on determining the magnitudes of a barrier gesture relaxation in France. Read more here.

Is regular COVID-19 testing in schools more effective than bubble quarantines?

A new study focused on developing a basic stochastic model for predicting the possibility of the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 occurring in primary schools. Read more here.
