High SARS-CoV-2 vaccine effectiveness in California, even with variants Researchers in the United States and the UK have conducted a study showing that the rollout of vaccines to protect against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is proving effective among Californias general population. The population-based surveillance study found that vaccination efforts are preventing infection with the causative agent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) under real-world conditions...

Federal scientists who track grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem are revising a key criterion that underlies how they count bears, with the effect being a 34% to 43% jump in the population estimate. The change brings the estimated population from 727 grizzlies up to more than 1,000 animals. The protocol used to count grizzlies — called the Chao 2 method — is staying the same, continuing a method that’s been used since 2007. What’s changing is a filter that det...

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...

Share this article Share this article NEW YORK, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Patients previously infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may produce levels of antibodies against COVID-19 after a one dose of the Pfizer Inc./BioNTech SE messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine that are equal to or higher than people not previously infected have after two doses, a new study finds. Presented virtually March 9 at the Conference for Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (...

Seropositive individuals show similar antibody levels to a second mRNA vaccine dose Seropositive individuals —people who received antibodies after COVID-19 infection — may be able to safely delay their second mRNA vaccine dose after all, according to the results of a new study. Increasing immunity is necessary for preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The United States currently leads the world with over 28 million cases and recently reached a sobering milestone of over 500,000 deaths. The C...

 E-Mail The tuberculosis (TB) vaccine Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) could protect newborns against a variety of common infections, such as upper respiratory tract infections, chest infections and diarrhoea, according to a new study in The Lancet Infectious Diseases. The research is the first of its kind to rigorously investigate the full range of illnesses BCG could protect infants against. It suggests that vaccinating all babies on the day of birth with BCG could reduce neonatal infections ...

By Nancy Nethercott Walking through the noisy streets of New York, I noticed people talking loudly on the phone or with headphones on listening to music, some loud enough for me to join in on what they were hearing. I felt accosted by the noise overload from the sound of traffic and construction, and by the visual overload of advertising. Needing a break from the sounds and sights of distracted life, I ducked into a church whose doors were open and invited me in with a sign that read: “Enter ...
