COVID-19 pandemic study shows adherence to in

<p>A new <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajic.2023.10.010">study</a> published today in the <em>American Journal of Infection Control</em> (AJIC), based on a survey of healthcare professionals conducted during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, suggests that new efforts may be needed to strengthen infection prevention precautions and protect staff members at the highest risk of exposure to dangerous pathogens. This is believed to be the first study of pandemic-era infection precautions to include a broad variety of healthcare jobs. Researchers found that workers who had the highest risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 were also the most likely to report errors in their own adherence to infection prevention measures.</p>

Single vaccine dose may offer protection to those who have had COVID-19

New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill suggests that people who have had COVID-19 may need only one shot of vaccine. The study led by the UNC School of Medicine and UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health showed one dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine known as mRNA vaccines boosted antibodies among those who previously had COVID-19. “These results support a new and growing body of research suggesting that prior coronavirus infection may act as a primer for the immune response to the first dose of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine,” said first study author Emily Ciccone, a clinical instructor and fellow in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the School of Medicine.
