Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on the immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 vaccination among 37 nursing home residents, highlighting the importance of this high-risk group.
  • Researchers measured antibody levels and memory B cell responses to evaluate the impact of vaccinations and infections over time.
  • Results indicated that while vaccination boosts the immune response, there is a decline in antibody levels over time, and individuals who get infected after vaccination show lower antibody levels compared to those who remain uninfected.
