Safety and immunogenicity of a QazCovid-in® inactivated whole-virion vaccine against COVID-19 in healthy adults: A single-centre, randomised, single-blind, placebo-controlled phase 1 and an open-label phase 2 clinical trials with a 6 months follow-up in Kazakhstan

A whole blood test to measure SARS-CoV-2-specific response in COVID-19 patients

Linda Petrone et al.

Summary: The study showed that specific T cell responses to SARS CoV 2 peptides can be detected in COVID-19 patients and are significantly different from individuals without COVID-19. This immune response exhibits characteristics of both Th1 and Th2 profiles, potentially serving as a new T cell-based diagnostic tool.

Safety and immunogenicity of an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, BBIBP-CorV: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 1/2 trial

Shengli Xia et al.

Summary: The inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, BBIBP-CorV, demonstrated safety and immunogenicity in two age groups. Humoral responses against SARS-CoV-2 were induced in all vaccine recipients by day 42. A two-dose immunisation with 4 mu g vaccine on days 0 and 21 or days 0 and 28 achieved higher neutralising antibody titres compared to other dosing schedules.

Summary: The ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine has been shown to have an acceptable safety profile and effectiveness against symptomatic COVID-19, with higher efficacy observed in the group that received a low dose followed by a standard dose.

Immunological memory to SARS-CoV-2 assessed for up to 8 months after infection

Jennifer M. Dan et al.

Summary: Different components of immune memory to SARS-CoV-2 exhibit distinct kinetics, with antibodies and spike-specific memory B cells remaining relatively stable over 6 months, while CD4(+) T cells and CD8(+) T cells declining with a half-life of 3 to 5 months after infection.

Yanjun Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the COVID-19 vaccine candidate CoronaVac, and found that the 3 μg dose showed higher seroconversion rates in the phase 2 trial.

COVID-19 case fatality risk by age and gender in a high testing setting in Latin America: Chile, March-August 2020

Eduardo A. Undurraga et al.

Summary: Early severity estimates of COVID-19 are crucial for assessing the impact of the pandemic. In Chile, real-time delay-adjusted case fatality rates show higher impact on male seniors, especially those aged 70 and above. The peak in estimated CFR during the epidemic peak may be due to insufficient laboratory capacity leading to lower reporting rates.
