Some early research suggested that the variant's changes might help it evade antibodies (made by your immune system after an infection or a vaccine) that fight the coronavirus. A lab study shows that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine can neutralize the fast-spreading Brazil strain. But more research ...
“The rush to create a COVID-19 vaccine may do more harm than good” (Torreele2020). The article lamented the fact that a vaccine may only provide short term protection or may offer only low vaccine effectiveness (less than 50%). The article quotes Phil Krause, then deputy...
The 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines produced by Moderna and Pfizer target a different strain of COVID-19 than was in the original vaccine. Think influenza vaccines — they are all flu vaccines, but the strains they protect against change year a...

It was urgent and necessary to synthesize the evidence for vaccine effectiveness (VE) against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC). We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to provide a comprehensive overview of the effectiveness profile of COV
of circulating viruses against the vaccine strain and VE against symptomatic infection. We found that the GD of the receptor-binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is highly predictive of vaccine protection and accounted for 86.3% (P = 0.038) of the VE change in a vaccine platfo...
According to Idaho's website for COVID-19, 249,393 people in Idaho have received a "bivalent booster dose." According to Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health, the bivalent booster contains "both the original vaccine strain [of the virus] and a strain derived from the BA." ...
