COVID-19 vaccines: where we stand and challenges ahead

Guido Forni et al.

Summary: The development of vaccines has made significant progress, but still faces various challenges, including different target populations, immunological adaptability of vaccines, and production and distribution issues. To ensure equitable access, protection of diverse subjects, and immunity against viral variants, multiple vaccines may be needed in the long run.

Safety and immunogenicity of an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, BBV152: a double-blind, randomised, phase 1 trial

Raches Ella et al.

Summary: The BBV152 vaccine demonstrated tolerable safety outcomes and enhanced immune responses in this clinical trial, leading to selection of both Algel-IMDG formulations for phase 2 immunogenicity trials. Further efficacy trials are warranted to validate the vaccine's effectiveness.

Chemokines and chemokine receptors during COVID-19 infection

Bariaa A. Khalil et al.

Summary: Chemokines play a crucial role in the immune response by clearing pathogens, but their excessive release can lead to hyperinflammation and severe complications. In COVID-19, chemokines may directly cause acute respiratory distress syndrome, increasing the risk of death. Understanding the role of chemokines in COVID-19 pathogenesis is important for developing potential therapeutic targets.

Safety and immunogenicity of an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, BBV152: interim results from a double-blind, randomised, multicentre, phase 2 trial, and 3-month follow-up of a double-blind, randomised phase 1 trial

Raches Ella et al.

Summary: BBV152 vaccine, consisting of whole-virion inactivated SARS-CoV-2 with Algel and IMDG, showed high neutralizing antibody responses in phase 1 trial and better reactogenicity in phase 2 trial. The 6 mu g with Algel-IMDG formulation has been chosen for phase 3 efficacy trial.

SARS-CoV-2 vaccines strategies: a comprehensive review of phase 3 candidates

Nikolaos C. Kyriakidis et al.

Summary: The new SARS-CoV-2 virus is rapidly spreading worldwide, causing the COVID-19 pandemic with more than 1.866 million deaths. Over 64 vaccine candidates are being developed globally, aiming to induce antibodies to prevent viral entry. Thirteen vaccine candidates are currently in Phase 3 clinical trials, showing promising progress towards approval for large-scale immunizations.

Heterologous vaccine interventions: boosting immunity against future pandemics

Daniela Marin-Hernandez et al.

Summary: Traditional vaccines are designed to target specific pathogens, but there are known off-target effects that can impact unrelated pathogen infections. Heterologous vaccines, like BCG, can induce non-specific effects through trained immunity.

Persistence of SARS-CoV-2-specific B and T cell responses in convalescent COVID-19 patients 6-8 months after the infection

Natalia Sherina et al.

Summary: The study shows that 85% of samples from COVID-19 patients had anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies within 4 weeks of symptom onset, while specific IgG antibodies and plasma neutralizing activities remained relatively stable up to 6 months after diagnosis. 80% of samples collected at 6-8 months after symptom onset still had anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies, and specific memory B and T cell responses continued to develop and persist.
