Study finds COVID booster maintains strong T cell response against Omicron

New study results posted to the medRxiv* preprint server found that COVID vaccine boosters increase immunity by enhancing T cell immune memory. In the face of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) Omicron variant, vaccinated people who had received a third booster shot maintained high T cell responses than people with naturally acquired immunity or vaccine-induced immunity from two doses of the SARS‑CoV‑2 vaccine.

New perspective on SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections and booster shot restoration of vaccine efficacy

A recent article published in the journal Science explains how SARS-CoV-2 variants can bypass vaccine-induced immune defenses. However, immunity is restorable with a booster shot. The paper's authors outlined the importance of a booster shot in maintaining immunity and preventing severe infection.

Transmission of Omicron in a quarantine hotel between two vaccinated individuals across a corridor

A recent study has reported a community outbreak of imported SARS-CoV-2 Beta variant, owing to intra-hotel transmission in a DQH.

Study demonstrates that intra-host SARS-CoV-2 variants with reduced infectivity are developed during infection

A new paper discusses the appearance of quasi-species in a single host with prolonged infection, with different rates of infectivity and sensitivity to neutralization by antibodies elicited by the Pfizer vaccine or those present in convalescent plasma.
