• Of the 49 patients, 89.8% (44/49) patients had a typical transition from early stage to advanced stage, and then from advanced stage to dissipating stage. • With the evidence of fibrosis for progression of CT results, 42.9% (21/49) patients developed fibrosis whereas 57.1% (28/49) patients demonstrated no definite fibrosis. • Patients with fibrosis in follow CT were older (mean age, 45.4 vs. 33.8 years), with longer LOS (19.1 vs. 15.0 days), and higher rate of ICU admission (19.0% [4/21] vs. 3.6% [1/28]) than that of those without fibrosis.

SARS-CoV-2, which originated in China in late 2019, quickly fueled the global COVID-19 pandemic, profoundly impacting health and the economy worldwide. A series of vaccines, mostly based on the full SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, were rapidly developed, showing excellent humoral and cellular responses and high efficacy against both symptomatic infection and severe disease. However, viral evolution and the waning humoral neutralizing responses strongly challenged vaccine long term effectiveness, mainly against symptomatic infection, making necessary a strategy of repeated and updated booster shots.
