Effect of mRNA Vaccine Boosters against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Infection in Qatar

L. J. Abu-Raddad et al.

Summary: A study in Qatar showed that booster vaccination significantly reduced the incidence of infection with the omicron variant, providing strong protection against Covid-19-related hospitalization and death. Booster effectiveness was observed for both mRNA vaccines, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, with lower infection rates and reduced severity of cases among those who received the booster dose.

Longitudinal extensive transverse myelitis following ChAdOx1 nCOV-19 vaccine: a case report

Wee Yong Tan et al.

Summary: Transverse myelitis (TM) is a rare condition, and vaccine-associated myelitis is even rarer. Concerns about neurological complications following vaccination increased after the report of TM during COVID-19 vaccine trials. The first case of Longitudinal Extensive Transverse Myelitis (LETM) in Malaysia occurred following vaccination with the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine, but the patient eventually recovered with treatment. While LETM following vaccination is rare, cases have shown symptoms onset between 10 to 14 days post-vaccination, suggesting a delayed immunogenic reaction.

Barak Mizrahi et al.

Summary: The study indicates preliminary evidence of waning vaccine effectiveness of BNT162b2 among all age groups above 16, with a higher incidence of infection in those vaccinated earlier in 2021. Further investigation into long-term protection against different strains is warranted.

Cristina Menni et al.

Summary: This study investigated the safety and effectiveness of the BNT162b2 and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccines in a UK community setting. The results showed that the frequencies of side effects from these vaccines were lower than reported in clinical trials, and a significant reduction in the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection was observed starting at 12 days after vaccination.

S. J. Thomas et al.

Summary: BNT162b2 vaccine remains highly effective and safe over the course of 6 months post-vaccination, with efficacy rates ranging from 86% to 100% across different demographics and risk factors for Covid-19. The vaccine also shows a high efficacy against severe disease, with particularly promising results observed in South Africa against the B.1.351 variant.

Adverse events reported by Iranian patients with multiple sclerosis after the first dose of Sinopharm BBIBP-CorV

Mohammad Ali Sahraian et al.

Summary: This study investigated adverse events after the first dose of Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine among 583 Iranian MS patients, finding that most vaccine recipients reported at least one complaint, with constitutional symptoms and headache being the most common complaints. There was a correlation between gender, prior COVID-19 infection, and reported symptoms. Only a small number of recipients reported MS relapse post-vaccination, with MS worsening being linked to fever as a minor incident.
