COVID-19 mRNA booster vaccines offered protection against severe COVID-19 caused by the Omicron variant for at least 6 months, and three doses of China’s inactivated vaccines were more protective than two doses...
Third Edition of the Global Health Cast presented by Prof. Schmitt and Dr. Sanicas. Topics Covered: 00:00 Introduction 01:00 COVID-19 update and news 05:08 Can scientists/physicians make a difference in debunking...
The mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines made by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna have proven highly effective at priming our immune systems to fight the pandemic coronavirus—preventing substantial amounts of infection, severe...
Just one dose of a new nanoparticle-based COVID-19 vaccine was enough to produce an immune response in animals on track with vaccines currently in clinical use. And with minor changes, Northwestern University...
The ongoing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, along with the continuous transmission of influenza viruses and other coronaviruses, remains a serious global threat to public health...
Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) and University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine have identified a powerful combination of antivirals to treat COVID-19. The researchers...
People previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 are substantially protected against COVID-19 for several months, even in the absence of vaccination, a study found. Beyond that, however, their natural immunity wanes but may...
The effectiveness of face masks has been a hotly debated topic since the emergence of COVID-19. However, a new study by researchers at the University of Central Florida offers more evidence that they work. In a study...
COVID-19 vaccination provides a foundation of protection that’s enhanced by breakthrough infection; ‘the key is to get vaccinated’ Breakthrough infections greatly enhance immune response to variants of the virus that...
A growing body of scientific evidence, considered together with ecological reality, strongly suggest that novel coronaviruses will continue to infect bats and other animal reservoirs and potentially emerge to pose a...
