Is it time to rethink COVID-19 boosters? New study dives into variant-specific vaccines

A recent study published in the journal Science discussed variant-adapted boosters for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have decreased the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the waning of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) and the emergence of variants of concern (VOCs) have reduced the efficacy of vaccines, prompting […]
