Rhesus macaques that are vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 are protected from severe disease and probably transmit very little virus when infected with SARS-CoV-2 one year later.
Most people associate viruses with illness and suffering, however, considering that the vast majority of viruses cause no illness and are actually beneficial to humans and the planet as a whole, this sentiment is largely misplaced.
New data suggest that children are less susceptible to severe COVID-19 because they have a stronger innate immune response than adults.
A heterologous vaccine regimen consisting of a first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine and a second dose of the Pfizer vaccine induces a stronger immune response than a regimen consisting of two doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
It is slowly becoming clear that the immunity induced by SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is of overall better quality than that induced by COVID-19.
