History of SARS-CoV-2 infection affects longitudinal responses to BNT162b2 vaccine

In a recently published article in the journal Cell Reports, scientists have demonstrated that individuals with or without a history of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) exhibit differential humoral and cellular immune responses 14 days after receiving mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer/BioNTech. However, at a later time point, the responses become comparable between the two groups.

Supreme Court weighs Biden’s workplace vaccine requirements

The Supreme Court on Friday took up one of the most contentious issues of the covid-19 pandemic, hearing a series of cases challenging the Biden administration's authority to require workers to get a covid vaccine or be tested for the virus regularly.

Study shows probiotics can reduce symptoms of COVID-19 when taken post-exposure

A new study shows how a daily use of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) probiotic may protect against symptom development in instances when it is used as post-exposure prophylaxis within seven days after exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

7 Jan 2022

Booster mRNA vaccination effective in reviving anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody titers among the elderly

A new study found that a booster dose vaccination against COVID-19 was successful in taking binding. and neutralizing antibodies to levels higher than those observed after the initial double-dose regimen.

Vaccine breakthrough COVID-19 infections found to be less likely transmitted

A new study displays that vaccine breakthrough COVID-19 infections are far less likely to transmit from the index patient to contacts than infections in partially or unvaccinated individuals.

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children rare after COVID-19 vaccination in adolescents

The current study was based on merged results using the CDD’s surveillance database coupled with the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), along with reports from health departments or physicians to the CDC.

Reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 in children

These findings bear out earlier reports that COVID-19 is less frequent and severe in children than adults.

SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant leads to widespread escape from neutralizing antibody responses

A new study reported the neutralization of Omicron by a large panel of sera collected from convalescent early pandemic, Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta infected individuals, as well as among vaccinees receiving three doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca (AZD1222) or the Pfizer BioNtech (BNT16b2) vaccines.
