Abstract: Since commencement of COVID-19 pandemic, several SARS-CoV-2 variants have emerged amid containment efforts via vaccination. The Delta variant (B.1.617.2), discovered in October 2020, was designated as a VOC by the WHO on May 11, 2021. The enhanced tran...
Real-world vaccine effectiveness of mRNA vaccines for SARS-CoV-2; a test-negative case-control study in a medium-sized clinic.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Human vaccines & immunotherapeutics [Hum Vaccin Immunother] 2022 Dec 30; Vol. 18 (7), pp. 2147353. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Dec 02.
Abstract: Although nationwide immunization with SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines began in February 2021, the evaluation of vaccine effectiveness (VE) using a test-negative design has not been conducted adequately in Japan. To evaluate the effectiveness of the SARS-CoV-2...
SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant shows less efficient replication and fusion activity when compared with Delta variant in TMPRSS2-expressed cells.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
