BNT162b2 antigen dose and SARS-CoV-2 omicron infection in adolescents
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Other)
COVID-19 vaccine antigen dose might affect protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection,1, 2 but direct evidence to quantify this effect is absent. We conducted a matched, retrospective, cohort study using a regression ...

(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
One Health is increasingly recognized as an optimal approach to address the global risk of health threats originating at the human, animal, and ecosystem interface, and their impact. Qatar has successfully practiced One ...
Long-term COVID-19 booster effectiveness by infection history and clinical vulnerability and immune imprinting: a retrospective population-based cohort study
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
BackgroundLong-term effectiveness of COVID-19 mRNA boosters in populations with different previous infection histories and clinical vulnerability profiles is inadequately understood. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness ...
Protection against Reinfection with the Omicron BA.2.75 Subvariant
(
Massachusetts Medical Society
, 2023 , Other)
The BA.2.75 sublineage of the B.1.1.529 (omicron) variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may escape neutralizing antibodies. The BA.2.75 sublineage (primarily the BA.2.75.2 subvariant) ...
Estimating protection afforded by prior infection in preventing reinfection: Applying the test-negative study design.
(
Oxford University Press
, 2023 , Article)
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to use infection testing databases to rapidly estimate effectiveness of prior infection in preventing reinfection ($P{E}_S$) by novel SARS-CoV-2 variants. Mathematical modeling ...
Effects of previous infection, vaccination, and hybrid immunity against symptomatic Alpha, Beta, and Delta SARS-CoV-2 infections: an observational study
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
BackgroundProtection against SARS-CoV-2 symptomatic infection and severe COVID-19 of previous infection, mRNA two-dose vaccination, mRNA three-dose vaccination, and hybrid immunity of previous infection and vaccination ...
History of primary-series and booster vaccination and protection against Omicron reinfection
(
American Association for the Advancement of Science
, 2023 , Article)
Laboratory evidence suggests a possibility of immune imprinting for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We investigated the differences in the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection in a ...
Population immunity of natural infection, primary-series vaccination, and booster vaccination in Qatar during the COVID-19 pandemic: an observational study
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
BackgroundWaning of natural infection protection and vaccine protection highlight the need to evaluate changes in population immunity over time. Population immunity of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection or of COVID-19 vaccination ...
