But several uncertainties could temper the optimism, starting with the duration of immunity. Evidence suggests that both natural and vaccine-induced immunity wane over time, particularly against infection.31 While we don’t yet know the full extent of waning immunity for Omicron, new evidence ...
Herein we will provide an updated overview of the natural history and current knowledge on drugs and therapeutic agents being tested for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. These include different classes of drugs such as antiviral agents (chloroquine, ivermectin, nitazoxanide, hydroxychloroquine...
We assessed the feasibility of a highly sensitive immunoassay method based on single molecule array (Simoa) technology to detect IgG and IgA antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD) in saliva from individuals with natural or vaccine-induced COVID-19 immunity. The ...
& Xing, Z. New tuberculosis vaccine strategies: taking aim at un-natural immunity. Trends Immunol. 39, 419–433 (2018). This recent review highlights the major immunological differences and protective outcomes between parenteral and respiratory mucosal routes of vaccination and suggests ways in which...
(Edwards2022), where at least 75% of kids already had COVID-19. As mentioned, natural immunity means that it is harder for someone to become reinfected with the virus and suffer a severe consequence. Frankly, the FDA has no reliable data that vaccinating a healthy child who already had ...

testing to identify cases and contacts, including the role of antibody tests; the public health value of treatments; mobilising people who have recovered; population (a synonym for herd) immunity through vaccination and through natural infection; involving the entire population; and the need for publ...
,” our analysis suggests that a high level of vaccine adoption is required to achieve herd immunity, even accounting for some level of natural immunity. If we assume that only adults over the age of 18 receive the vaccine (consistent with the initial vaccine trials) and vaccines all h...

(the 1st and 2nd months following diagnosis)7. This finding also explains why the duration of SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG after vaccination cannot be longer than that of natural immunity. After natural infection, some studies have shown that severe clinical manifestations lead to high titers of anti...
