While other studies of the BA.2 and BA.1 variants suggested that they were of similar severity19,20 in terms of case hospitalisation rate or case fatality rate, the greater symptom burden and severity for BA.2 shown here may still be associated with substantial disruption to daily living, an...
Currently, thedominant variant nationwide is XEC, with 47% of cases, followed by LP.8.1, with 15% of cases, and KP.3.1.1, with 14% of cases. "The original omicron variant is gone now," says Dr. Rupp. "Currently subvariants of omicron are circulating, including MC.1, KP.3, and L...
This series welcomes articles on all COVID-19-related topics, in particular: Molecular characterization of the SARS-CoV-2 to characterize the genetic evolution of the virus and to identify variants for pathogenicity purposes as well as immune preventive strategies; Immunology, molecular and systems b...
It is reassuring that the many vaccines that are available now could work effectively against several variants of the SARS-CoV-2 barring few strains. In future, the management of the COVID-19 would become a routine and well standardized procedure giving a scope for better management of patients...
Once that’s decided, would people who’ve already received the original COVID-19 vaccine get a booster shot to protect against variants of concern while vaccine-naive individuals receive the original vaccine and the booster rolled into one? “Do we have the capacity to make both?” Baylor as...
Booster vaccination for the prevention of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is required to overcome loss of protection due to waning immunity and the spread of novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants. Studies have assessed the ability of existing ancestral-base...

·13] for LC, insufficient follow-up time for VLC) were dominant compared to Wild-type. In a sensitivity analysis to test whether the lower risk with more recent variants was due to unmeasured time-varying factors we restricted the comparison to cases close to the transition period and also...
Current publicly available COVID-19 risk estimation tools have had variable effectiveness during the pandemic due to their dependency on rapidly evolving factors such as community transmission levels and variants. There has also been confusion surrounding certain personal protective strategies such as risk...
