Genomic surveillance highlights the challenges posed by "shapeshifting" strains

A pioneering genomic surveillance study has provided the clearest picture yet of the arms race between Streptococcus pneumoniae, the bacterium responsible for a range of illnesses such as pneumonia and meningitis, and the vaccines designed to protect against the most dominant types. A strain called GPSC10 was found to be a particular threat, due to its increased virulence, ability to transform its structure to evade vaccines and its resistance to several common antibiotics.

LSHTM expert comment: UK's MHRA approves bivalent COVID-19 vaccine

The UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has approved a booster vaccine made by Moderna which targets two COVID-19 variants, known as a bivalent vaccine. Following clinical trial data that showed it triggers a strong immune response against both strains, the vaccine was found to meet the UK regulator's standards for safety, quality and effectiveness. Vaccine expert, Professor Beate Kampmann reacts to this announcement.
