Since previous studies, mostly performed in healthy adults, show that sleep restriction around time of vaccination impairs antibody response and shift work affects sleep, aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that the antibody response to vaccination is impaired in shift workers, when compared to non-shift workers. Employees (n = 445; mean age 44 ± 11 years; 35 % men) of the Centro Cardiologico Monzino, IRCCS (Milan, Italy) were vaccinated against SARS-CoV2 in February 2021 with an mRNA-based vaccine. Antibody titers were assayed 1 and 7 months later.

- Scientists are trying to find out if having Clonal Hematopoiesis (a condition with blood cell mutations) makes COVID-19 worse for patients.
- They studied 24 patients in the ICU and found many mutations, but these mutations were similar to those in healthy people.
- The researchers think that while COVID-19 might change blood cell composition, more studies with larger groups of patients are needed to understand the long-term effects of these mutations.
The correlation between immune responses and protection from SARS-CoV-2 infections and its duration remains unclear. We performed a sanitary surveillance at the European Institute of Oncology (IEO) in Milan over a 17 months period. Pre-vaccination, in 1,493 participants, we scored 266 infections (17.
