Nature of immune responses may affect clinical outcomes and burden of severe cases requiring hospitalization

Long-term COVID-19 containment will be shaped by strength and duration of natural, vaccine-induced immunity

Posted on

New research suggests that the impact of natural and vaccine-induced immunity will be key factors in shaping the future trajectory of the global coronavirus pandemic, known as COVID-19. In particular, a vaccine capable of eliciting a strong immune response could substantially reduce the future burden of infection, according to a study recently published in the journal Science….
