This raised great concern about the presumably-rapid but unreported spread of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant in a very large population of very low pre-existing immunity. By modeling a combination of case count and survey data, we show that Omicron spread extremely rapidly, at a rate of ...
Vaccines, such as those designed to prevent COVID-19, help your body develop long-term protective immunity without having to go through an active infection first. The vaccine exposes your immune system to something that helps it develop these special T cells and B cells that can recognize and...
