Article Synopsis
  • SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations have decreased hospitalization and death rates in nursing home residents, but effectiveness is challenged by new variants and reduced immunity.
  • A study evaluated the immune response to the XBB.1.5 monovalent vaccine in nursing home residents and healthcare workers, focusing on those with prior infections.
  • Results showed a significant increase in neutralizing antibody levels, especially in nursing home residents who had a previous infection, indicating the vaccine's ability to enhance immunity against Omicron variants.

Background: In the UK, few (12%) anal squamous cell carcinomas (aSCC) are diagnosed early at stage 1 (T1N0M0). The Homerton Anogenital Neoplasia Service (HANS) is a highly specialised tertiary centre where high resolution anoscopy (HRA) is performed to diagnose and treat anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN), a precursor to cancer. In some cases, aSCC (here defined as anal canal cancers and perianal cancers up to 5cm from the anal verge) is found on referral for AIN; in others, aSCC may develop while undergoing AIN management.

Background: Bivalent SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were developed to counter increasing susceptibility to emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. We evaluated the durability of immunity and protection following first bivalent vaccination among nursing home residents.

Methods: We evaluated anti-spike and neutralization titers from blood in 653 community nursing home residents before and after each monovalent booster, and a bivalent vaccine.
