Leave a Comment / Genetics / By admin

A new study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases reports that prior infections with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and booster vaccination protect against intensive care unit (ICU) admission and mortality following infection with the SARS variant -CoV-2 Omicron. However, the scope of this protection is reduced against the Omicron variant compared …
