Confronted with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants, such as Delta and Omicron, with high infectivity and immune evasion capacity, vaccination remains the most effective tool to prevent infection and severe illness.

Since subunit vaccine MVC-COV1901 (MVC) has been granted emergency use authorization in Taiwan, in this study, we explored the humoral and cellular immune responses to additional third (2× MVC/Mod) and fourth (2× MVC/2× Mod) doses of mRNA-1273 (Mod) after priming with two doses of subunit vaccine MVC against the emerging variants.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel coronavirus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the long-term health consequences of COVID-19 are not fully understood. We aimed to determine the long-term lung pathology and blood chemistry changes in Syrian hamsters infected with SARS-CoV-2.
