Immunogenicity Characterization of COVID-19 Vaccines: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Introduction: Immunogenicity has emerged as a challenge in the development of vaccines against coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19). Immunogenicity is a determinant of the efficacy and safety of vaccines. This systematic review and associated meta-analysis summarized and characterized the immunogenicity of COVID-19 vaccines in randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Social characterization of COVID-19 in the state of Amazonas, Brazil.

Objectives: To compare the number of deaths that occurred in the state of Amazonas and in Brazil, from March 16 to August 20 2020, using the variables skin color, sex, place of death, age group and association with COVID-19, and secondly, to verify whether between 2019 and 2020, in the period from March 16 to August 20, there was a significant change in the number of deaths from diseases not associated with COVID-19.

Methods: We searched the databases of the Brazilian public agency "Transparency Portal" for the data on deaths that occurred in the state of Amazonas and Brazil in the period from March 16 to August 20, 2019 and 2020. The absolute frequencies and percentages of the variables studied were used for statistical analysis.
