NEW Research—Heterologous ChAdOx1 nCov-19–BNT162b2 immunisation w/ 10–12-week interval is well tolerated & improves immunogenicity vs homologous ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vax w/ 10–12-week interval & BNT162b2 vax w/ 3-week interval

Estudos: proteção da vacina diminui com o tempo em relação à infecção por COVID, mas a proteção contra hospitalização é duradoura.

Very excited to share our most recent publication about #CovidVaccine effectiveness, just published today by the IVY network. Especially relevant in light of today’s news about #boosters (spoiler – I’m skeptical about the need for boosters for all). 🧵https://t.co/GbAxgzpo7R

Mix and match vaccines, AZ then mRNA (@BioNTech_Group) achieves a very strong immune response against the Delta variant.
This is the 1st report to look at mix vs Delta, specifically.https://t.co/6N46cUh8HW @TheLancet pic.twitter.com/cvlHp2XtXJ— Eric Topol (@EricTopol) August 17, 2021
FDA autoriza aplicação de dose adicional da vacina contra Covid-19 em indivíduos imunocomprometidos – As demais pessoas, já plenamente vacinadas, não precisam de dose adicional neste momento.

..1st randomized trial results of 3rd doses of Moderna vax for 120 people with organ transplants: month 4, their minimum anti-RBD antibody levels were 55% for 3rd dose vs 18% (still increasing a little in the placebo group). No cases of acute rejection https://t.co/BcfeyUEhx5 #IC
