This ongoing, open-label, phase 2/3 trial compared the safety and immunogenicity of Omicron BA.4/BA.5-containing bivalent mRNA-1273.222 vaccine with ancestral Wuhan-Hu-1 mRNA-1273 as booster doses. Two groups adults who previously received primary vaccination series doses were enrolled in a sequential, nonrandomized manner single-second boosters (n = 376) or 511). Primary objectives noninferiority superiority neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses against BA.4/BA.5 SARS-CoV-2 D614G mutation (ancestral (D614G)), 28 days post boost. Superiority based on prespecified success criteria (lower bounds 95% CI > 1 < 0.677, respectively) mRNA-1273.222:mRNA-1273 geometric mean ratios. Bivalent elicited superior nAb versus noninferior (D614G) at day 29 boost participants without detectable prior infection. Day seroresponses higher for than similar (D614G), both meeting criterion. The profile was to that reported no new concerns identified. Continued monitoring neutralization real-world effectiveness are needed additional divergent-virus variants emerge.

Abstract The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly evolved over short timescales, leading to the emergence of more transmissible variants such as Alpha and Delta 1–3 . arrival Omicron variant marked a major shift, introducing numerous extra mutations in spike gene compared with earlier 1,2 These evolutionary changes have raised concerns regarding their potential impact on immune evasion, disease severity effectiveness vaccines treatments 1,3 In this epidemiological study, we identified two distinct patterns protective effect natural infection against reinfection versus pre-Omicron eras. Before Omicron, provided strong durable protection reinfection, minimal waning time. However, during era, was robust only for those recently infected, declining time diminishing within year. results demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 is shaped by dynamic interaction between host immunity viral evolution, contrasting before after Omicron’s first wave. This shift suggests change pressures, intrinsic transmissibility driving adaptation escape becoming dominant post-Omicron, underscoring need periodic vaccine updates sustain immunity.

Although the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emergency status is easing, COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect healthcare systems globally. It crucial have a reliable and population-wide prediction tool for estimating COVID-19-induced hospital admissions. We evaluated feasibility of using wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) predict weekly new hospitalizations in 159 counties across 45 states United States America (USA), covering population nearly 100 million. Using county-level wastewater surveillance data (over 20 months), WBE-based models were established through random forest algorithm. accurately predicted admissions, allowing preparation window 1-4 weeks. In real applications, periodically updated showed good accuracy transferability, with mean absolute error within 4-6 patients/100k upcoming hospitalization numbers. Our study demonstrated potential WBE as an effective method provide early warnings systems.
