The study found that measles antibody levels during 2 long-term follow-ups fell lower than those observed before receipt of the third MMR dose.
The study findings on enhanced immunity from a third mRNA-1273 dose and specific population benefits will help build effective public health policy, authors say.

The intranasal delivery and live attenuated form of CoviLiv may strengthen immune response and vaccine acceptance and uptake in populations and regions where both are low.

Researchers say findings demonstrate the capacity to use an existing influenza vaccine effectiveness network to study a large immunocompromised population.

The phase 3 semaglutide kidney outcomes trial will be stopped immediately with FLOW read out expected in early 2024, the company said.

IDWeek 2023: In a large cohort of people living with HIV, those switching from oral ART to long acting CAB+RPV were more than 4x as likely to adhere to the regimen.

Approved for persons with HIV with undetectable VL, CAB+RPV LA may also be appropriate for those with VL ≥50 copies when the therapy is initiated, according to new findings.
