The electrophoretic mobility of circulating lymphocytes has been studied in normal human subjects after immunization by tetanus toxoid. The mean migration speed was shown to increase, particularly two and three days after secondary immunization. This increase appeared to be due to the elevation of percentage of T cells migrating at 1.20 and 1.35 micrometer. sec.-1v.-1 cm. (active rosettes-forming cells), with a decrease of the percentage of B cells and T lymphocytes migrating at 1.10 micrometer. sec.-1v.-1 cm. The return to the anterior status was observed between day 4 and 8 after immunization.

Delay discounting predicts COVID-19 vaccine booster willingness.

Cogn Res Princ Implic

Developing ways to predict and encourage vaccine booster uptake are necessary for durable immunity responses. In a multi-nation sample, recruited in June-August 2021, we assessed delay discounting (one's tendency to choose smaller immediate rewards over larger future rewards), COVID-19 vaccination status, demographics, and distress level. Participants who reported being vaccinated were invited back one year later (n = 2547) to report their willingness to receive a booster dose, along with reasons for their decision.

Ohio State Global One Health Initiative, LLC, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Pneumococcal pneumonia is one of the most common causes of severe pneumonia and pneumonia-related mortality globally. It ranked among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in children under five years in Ethiopia. Vaccination reduces the burden of pneumonia and pneumococcal infections in both children and adults.

Introduction: The long-term immunogenicity, adverse effects, influencing factors, and protection from booster vaccines remain unclear. Specifically, little is known regarding the humoral immunity and breakthrough infections associated with COVID-19 booster immunization. Therefore, we evaluated the immunogenicity, reactogenicity, influencing factors, and protective effects of the first coronavirus disease booster vaccine 23 months before and after implementation of dynamic zero epidemic control measures among healthcare staff.

Introduction: Newborn Screening (NBS) is a public health program designed to identify and provide early interventions for infants with genetic disorders such as Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). Lack of awareness and unwillingness to participate in the NBS by caregivers and some healthcare workers are major contributing factors impeding NBS for SCD.

Objective: To evaluate the level of awareness and acceptance of NBS for SCD and the determinant factors influencing caregivers in Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria.

Safety and immunogenicity of an mRNA-1273 vaccine booster in adolescents.

Hum Vaccin Immunother

December 2025

Research and Development, Infectious Disease, Moderna, Inc., Cambridge, MA, USA.

Safety, immunogenicity, and effectiveness of an mRNA-1273 50-μg booster were evaluated in adolescents (12-17 years), with and without pre-booster SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants who had received the 2-dose mRNA-1273 100-µg primary series in the TeenCOVE trial (NCT04649151) were offered the mRNA-1273 50-μg booster. Primary objectives included safety and inference of effectiveness by establishing noninferiority of neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses after the booster compared with the nAb post-primary series of mRNA-1273 among young adults in COVE (NCT04470427).
