Marburg virus vaccine safe in small, first-in-human clinical trial: NIH
A study published in the Lancet on January 28 shows that an experimental vaccine against Marburg virus (MARV) was safe and induced an immune response in a small, first-in-human clinical trial. Read More
COVID-19 immune response strengthens over time
Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) researchers found that the more time between vaccination and infection, the greater the strength of the immunity from COVID-19. The findings, published on Thursday in the Journal for Clinical Investigation Insight, suggest that people who’ve had COVID-19 can benefit from vaccination, even if they’ve delayed it. Read More
