Background: COVID-19 vaccination uptake is associated with demographic characteristics such as age, sex, and ethnicity-race in the United States (U.S.).

Given the importance of the local epidemiological data and also extensive prophylactic regimens in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, this study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and resistance patterns of yeast isolates in SOT recipients at a main referral transplant center in Iran. Of the 275 recipients enrolled, 22 (8%) had at least one positive yeast culture at a median of 5 days after transplantation.

Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the immune response to COVID-19 in 30 patients, comparing those receiving convalescent plasma to a control group receiving normal plasma, using various measurement methods over several days post-infusion.
- - Results indicated that convalescent plasma infusion resulted in lower levels of certain immune receptors (TLR7/8, PD-1, and CTLA-4) and increased levels of adaptive immune transcription factors (Tbet, RORγ3, Foxp3) compared to the control group.
- - Additionally, the infusion led to a significant decrease in viral load and specific cytokines, suggesting that convalescent plasma can effectively modulate the immune response, warranting further investigation for confirmation.
Background: Age, race, ethnicity, and sex are important determinants of coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes. Older adults (65 years and older) are at the highest risk of COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. Analyzing their vaccine uptake by subclassifying demographics is rare and can assist vaccination policies.
