Unvaccinated white evangelicals seem to be resistant to persuasive pro-vaccine messages

White evangelical Christians have resisted getting vaccinated against COVID-19 at higher rates than other religious groups in the United States. A new study by Yale researchers provides evidence that persuading these vaccine holdouts to get their shots has only gotten more difficult.

Longer between-dose intervals for COVID-19 vaccines may significantly reduce mortality

A recent study, currently available on the medRxiv* preprint server, has shown how longer dosing intervals of vaccines against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) may be able to minimize mortality in low- and middle-income countries in the WHO European region – and significantly change our vaccination strategy.

Natural COVID-19 infection offers protection from gamma and delta variants of SARS-CoV-2

Natural infection with COVID-19 offered protection from reinfection when the gamma and delta variants predominated, according to a new University of Michigan study that also provides levels of antibodies needed to protect against reinfections.

COVID-19 infections in the fully vaccinated are rare but are common in people with weak immune systems

A real-world retrospective cohort study involving nearly 1.2 million people shows COVID-19 infections in the 'fully' vaccinated are rare but are more common and severe in people with weaker immune systems.
