Together, these studies show the importance of monitoring immunity, virulence & disease severity as SARS-CoV-2 evolves to help guide public health strategies. They highlight the need for updated vaccines to provide broad protection against new variants. gla.ac.uk/research/az/cvr/en…

Additionally, research from @CVRPreparedness & colleagues tested blood from vaccinated people to measure antibody neutralisation of emerging variants. Data show current boosters provide cross-protection against BA.2.86. doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(2…
