DOI: 10.1002/jmv.28694
Abstract: The current COVID‐19 vaccination program requires frequent booster vaccination to maintain sufficient neutralization levels against immune evasive SARS‐CoV‐2 variants. However, prior studies found more potent and durable immune response in convalescing individuals, raising the possibility… read more here.
