Hopefully the updated XBB.1.5 mRNA vaccine which will also offer good protection against the Eris (EG.5.1) variant.
Peter Openshaw@p_openshaw14 Aug 2023
Link says: 'Further advice on the choice of vaccine products for use this autumn will be provided in due course.' I wonder what's under negotiation. Monovalent updated to match variants currently circulating?

Also important to note that mRNA vaccines are being developed to treat cancer with very encouraging early clinical results.

Now there's ANOTHER new Covid variant! mol.im/a/12369429 via @MailOnline

Now there's ANOTHER new Covid variant!

UK Health Security Agency bosses have raised the alarm about Eris, saying it already makes up one in eight new cases after reaching Britain at the end of May.

It was an honour to meet such inspiring young people at our Work Experience Week, organised by #WMGOutreach & @WPWarwick to support under-represented students who might lack confidence or support when considering a career in #STEM. ow.ly/FaxL50PjpyH @megjlow @philjemmett

And really important that we improve collaboration between human and animal public health. We also need more interdisciplinary research on animal and human pathogens.
Microbiology Society@MicrobioSoc2 Jul 2023
Throughout the pandemic, we supported the national response and published cutting-edge microbiological research on COVID-19. Now, we have submitted evidence to an inquiry on emerging diseases and learnings from #COVID-19. Find out more: microb.io/3NztjqO 👈

Happy 102nd birthday to Sir Anthony Epstein. The virus he discovered with Yvonne Barr and Bert Achong in 1964 continues to surprise us! Most recently implicated in multiple sclerosis and long covid, EBV also plays a role in certain cancers. Important therapeutic target.

Dampening of the T cell response after SARS-CoV-2 infection also explains reactivation of EBV with increased risk of long covid.
Alexander Tin@Alexander_Tin20 Mar 2023
"findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection damages the CD8+ T cell response, an effect akin to that observed in earlier studies showing long-term damage to the immune system after infection with viruses such as hepatitis C or HIV"
