The objective of the study was to explore whether the BNT162b2 mRNA and mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccines are safe for breastfeeding mothers and their breastfed infants. A convenience sample prospective cohort single institution study was performed on breastfeeding health care professionals, who were exposed to second dose of SARS-CoV2 vaccine at the beginning of the study period.

Article Synopsis
- The GEHEP-004 cohort study in Spain investigates how resistance-guided retreatment can help hepatitis C patients who failed previously unsuccessful NS5A inhibitor treatments.
- The study involved analyzing the genetic sequences of hepatitis C in patients before retreatment, leading to tailored therapy choices.
- Results showed a high sustained virological response (SVR12) rate of nearly 90%, suggesting that sharing resistance data among virologists and clinicians could enhance treatment effectiveness, especially in regions with limited access to new antiviral drugs.
