Effective vaccines have reduced SARS-CoV-2 morbidity and mortality; however, the elderly remain the most at risk. Understanding how vaccines generate protective immunity, and how these mechanisms change with age is key for informing future vaccine design. Cytotoxic CD8+ T cells are important for killing virally infected cells, and vaccines that induce antigen specific CD8+ T cells in addition to humoral immunity provide an extra layer of immune protection. This is particularly important in cases where antibody titres are sub-optimal, as can occur in older individuals. Here, we show that in aged mice, spike-epitope specific CD8+ T cells are generated in comparable numbers to younger animals after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination, although phenotypic differences exist. This demonstrates that ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 elicits a good CD8+ T cell response in older bodies, but that typical age-associated features are evident on these vaccine reactive T cells.

Considering the efficacy of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against the Spike (S) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in reducing disease severity, the aim of this study was to investigate the innate immune response before and after mAbs treatment in 72 vaccinated and 31 unvaccinated SARS-CoV-2 patients. Type I interferon (IFN-I) signature and cytokines genes were evaluated by real time RT-PCR. The vaccinated patients had increased negative rate of SARS-CoV-2 RT/real-time PCR tests as compared to unvaccinated ones after mAbs treatment. Unvaccinated patients but also those that resulted negative for serum anti-S antibodies despite vaccination had lower IFN-I and higher IFN-I related genes and cytokines mRNAs levels as compared to vaccinated individuals before mAbs. In addition, patients with low anti-S antibody titer showed immune genes expression levels between those found in negative and patients with high titer of anti-S antibodies. Changes in IFN-I pathway and cytokines levels were observed in unvaccinated patients after mAbs treatment, while the expression of most of the type I IFN genes and cytokines analysed, except for ISGs and IL-10 mRNAs, remained unchanged vaccinated patients. These data suggest that mAbs treatment is associated to a different virological and immunological response in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients according to their vaccination status and related anti-S antibodies titers.

Aim: Nirmatrelvir as a new 3CL protease inhibitor for treating COVID-19 drug of antiviral drug, the potential side effects have not yet been fully studied yet. The aim of this study was to identify potential risk of Nirmatrelvir by analyzing post-marketing safety data based on the largest publicly available worldwide pharmacovigilance database. Methods: We analyzed Nirmatrelvir adverse events to detect and characterize relevant safety signals based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database in 2022. Case/non-case approach were used to estimate the reporting odds ratio (ROR) and information component (IC) with relevant confidence intervals (95% CI) for AEs with ≥4 counts. Results: Total of 26846 cases were included. Disease recurrence [ROR(95%CI)=413.2(395.6-431.59)], dysgeusia [ROR(95%CI)=110.84(106.04-115.85)], anosmia [ROR(95%CI)=15.21(12.76-18.11)], ageusia [ROR(95%CI)=9.80(8.50-11.3)] and urticaria [ROR(95%CI)=1.91(1.69-2.17)] were the main safety signals. In addition, abdominal pain upper and skin toxicity were two specific safety signals of Nirmatrelvir. In pregnant population, a significant increased ROR was found in life-threatening [ROR(95%CI)=5.12(1.38-19.00)]. Conclusion: We identified that disease recurrence, dysgeusia, abdominal pain upper and skin toxicity were the main and specific safety signals of Nirmatrelvir. Clinician and pharmacist should pay attention on these AEs. Notably, a potential risk of Nirmatrelvir in pregnant population should be alerted.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection can lead to diverse clinical manifestations and pathologies that involve multiple organs. Even though the disease severity is manifested mainly in the respiratory tract, which is the primary target of SARS-CoV-2 infection, acute kidney injury in the form of acute tubular necrosis has also been noted in some COVID-19 cases. It is not entirely clear whether renal cells can be infected by the virus that might be involved in acute kidney disorder. In a recent publication by Radovic and colleagues (1) that has been selected as the editor’s choice paper published in the Journal of Medical Virology, the authors provided strong histopathological and immunofluorescence evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and tissue injury of renal parenchymal and tubular epithelial cells, which strongly suggest an active viral replication in the kidney of some severe and fatal COVID-19 cases, and to a lesser extent, a potential role for innate immune cells in viral infection and renal disease pathogenesis.

Varicella is a highly prevalent infectious disease with a similar transmission pathway to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, anti-COVID-19 non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) have been implemented to prevent the spread of the infection. This study aims to analyze varicella’s epidemiological characteristics and further investigate the effect of anti-COVID-19 NPIs on varicella in Xi’an, northwestern China. Based on the varicella surveillance data, search engine indices, meteorological factors from 2011 to 2021 in Xi’an, and different levels of emergency response to COVID-19 during the pandemic, we applied Bayesian Structural Time Series models and interrupted time series analysis to predict the counterfactual incidence of varicella and quantify the impact of varying NPIs intensities on varicella. From 2011 to 2021, varicella incidence increased, especially in 2019, with a high incidence of 111.69/100,000. However, there was a sharp decrease of 43.18% in 2020 compared with 2019, and the peak of varicella incidence in 2020 was lower than in previous years from the 21st to the 25th week. In 2021, the seasonality of varicella incidence gradually returned to a seasonal pattern in 2011-2019. The results suggest that anti-COVID-19 NPIs effectively reduce the incidence of varicella, and this reduction has spatiotemporal heterogeneity.

Background and objectives: To re-activate infuneza sentinel surveillance system in Yemen after disruption related to repurposing for COVID-19 pandemic. WHO Country Office (CO) in collaboration with Yemen’s Ministry of Public Health and Population (MOPH&P) jointly conducted an assessment mission to assess the current situation of the influenza sentinel surveillance system and assess its capacity to detect influenza epidemics and monitor trends in circulating influenza and other respiratory viruses of epidemic and pandemic potential. This study presents the results of the assessment for three sentinel sites located in Aden, Taiz and Hadramout/Mukalla. Methodology: A mixed methods approach was used to guide the assessment process and to help achieve the objectives. Data was collected as follows: desk review of the sentinel sites records and data; interviews with stakeholders, including key informants and partners; and direct observation through field visits to the sentinel sites, MOPH&P and the Central Public Health Laboratory (CPHL). Two assessment checklists were used: assessment of sentinel sites for SARI surveillance, and checklist for assessment of availability of SARI sentinel surveillance. Results and conclusion: COVID19 has affected health systems and services, and this was demonstrated in this assessment. The influenza sentinel surveillance system in Yemen is not effectively functional, however there’s plenty of room for improvement if investment in the system’s restructuring, training, building technical and laboratory capacities, and conducting continuous and regular supervision visits.

India sees a 23% rise in podcast listening after the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic and screen fatigue led people to seek out old favourite audio podcasts. Podcast genre classification allows listeners to compile a playlist of their favourite tracks; this also helps podcast streaming services provide recommendations to users based on the genre of the podcasts they enjoy. After the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for educational content in all forms, including podcasts, has skyrocketed, making it even more crucial to anticipate the genre of educational podcasts. Educational podcasts are a sub-genre of the broader education genre and typically involve audio recordings of discussions, lectures, or interviews on educational topics. Education podcast genre prediction is required to efficiently classify and arrange educational content and make it simpler for listeners to access and absorb pertinent information. This study focuses on Podcast Genre Prediction, specifically for the Hindi language. In our study, our developed PodGen dataset is used, which consists of 550 podcasts of 5 minutes each and have a total of 26,867 sentences, where every podcast has been manually annotated into one of the four genre categories (Horror, Motivational, Crime, and Romance). The performance comparison of state-of-the-art machine learning techniques on the PodGen dataset is used to demonstrate accuracy. The best performance was observed in the case of the Support Vector Classifier model with balanced accuracy:82.42%, precision (weighted):83.09%, recall (weighted):82.42%, and F1 score(weighted):82.39% on testing data.

To date (2/5/2023), nearly three years after the official declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic, a total of 754, 018, 841 cases and 6,817,478 deaths have been officially reported to the world health organization (WHO) ([https://covid19.who.int/](https://covid19.who.int/)). During this time, the global populace has witnessed the devastating effects of this pandemic, which can undoubtedly be considered the sanitary event of the century. In my opinion, understanding the mechanisms associated with the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 is the most important aspect of understanding the course of this pandemic. In this respect, the millions of viral sequences generated during the pandemic (1) have significantly aided in the tracking of the pandemic, resulting in the identification of multiple variants of concern.

A method using questionnaire data for estimating the level of under reporting during an outbreak is presented. It is based on rewriting the conditional probabilities for getting tested, being infected, and having symptoms. It shows very good agreement with seroprevalence studies of blood donors. On the one hand, this shows the strength of questionnaires when testing the general population during an outbreak as a means to find the true prevalence. On the other, applying it to covid-19 demonstrates that the asymptomatic cases likely make up around 50% of the infected.

As we approach the three-year anniversary of the pandemic, we are now facing a seasonal influenza epidemic after two years without one. In light of growing concerns over the potential risk of a “twindemic,” the Republic of Korea is currently experiencing the first peak of seasonal flu and the overall pattern is quite similar to that observed before the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, no sudden or early increase in cases has been detected, which is unique compared to other countries.

Although there has been an effective seasonal influenza vaccine available for more than 60 years, influenza continues to circulate and cause illness. The Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) is very diverse in health systems capacities, capabilities, and efficiencies, which affect the performance of services, especially vaccinations, including seasonal influenza vaccination. In this article, we have analyzed data from a regional seasonal influenza survey conducted in 2022, Joint Reporting Form (JRF), and verified their validity by the focal points. We also compared our results with those of the regional seasonal influenza survey conducted in 2016. This analysis provides a comprehensive overview on country-specific influenza vaccination policies, vaccine delivery, and coverage in EMR. Fourteen countries (64%) had reported having a national seasonal influenza vaccine policy. About (44%) countries recommended influenza vaccine for all SAGE recommended target groups. Up to (69%) of countries reported that COVID-19 had an impact on influenza vaccine supply in the country, with most of them (82%) reporting increases in procurement and supply of influenza vaccine, with the other countries reporting decreases in procurement due to COVID-19. We suggest supporting countries to develop a roadmap for influenza vaccine uptake and utilization, assessment of barriers and burden of influenza, including measuring the economic burden to enhance vaccine acceptance.

Background: Saudi Arabia (SA) reported its first case of COVID-19 on 2 March 2020. Mortality varied nationwide: by 14 April 2020 Medina had 16% of SA’s total COVID-19 cases and 40% of all COVID-19 deaths. A team of epidemiologists investigated to identify factors impacting survival. Methods: We reviewed medical records from two hospitals: Hospital A in Medina and Hospital B in Dammam. All patients with a registered COVID-related death between 1 March -22 April 2020 were included. We collected data on demographics, chronic health conditions, clinical presentation and treatment. We analysed data using SPSS. Results: We identified 76 cases: 38 cases from each hospital. More fatalities were among non-Saudis at Hospital A (89%) versus Hospital B (82%, p<.001). Hypertension prevalence was higher among cases at Hospital A (42%) versus Hospital B (21%) (p<.05). We found statistically significant differences (p<.05) in symptoms at initial presentation among cases at Hospital A versus Hospital B, including: body temperature (38º C vs 37º C), heart rate (104 bpm vs 89 bpm), and regular breathing rhythms (61% vs 55%). Less cases (50%) at Hospital A received heparin versus Hospital B (97%, p-value< 0.001). Conclusion: Patients who died at Hospital A typically presented with more severe illness and were more likely to have underlying health conditions. Migrant workers may be at increased risk due to poorer baseline health and reluctance to seek care. This highlights the importance of cross-cultural outreach to prevent deaths. Health education efforts should be multilingual and accommodate all literacy levels.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Influenza is an acute viral infection with significant morbidity and mortality. Its occur annually each winter is called seasonal influenza and is preventable through safe vaccine. Aim: To know the epidemiological pattern of patients with seasonal influenza in Iraqi sentinel sites. Methods: A cross- sectional study carried out on records of patients who attended four sentinel sites and registered to have influenza-like illness (ILI) or severe acute respiratory infection (SARI), and laboratory investigated. Results: The total number of cases was 1124, 36.2% of them aged 19-39 years; 53.9% were female; 74.9% lived in urban areas; 64.3% diagnosed as ILI and 35.7% as SARI. 15.9% had diabetes, 12.7% had heart disease, 4.8% had asthma, 3% had a chronic lung disease, and 2% had hematological disease. 94.6% did not get influenza vaccine. About COVID-19 vaccine, 69.4% did not vaccinated, 3.5% get only 1 dose, and 27.1% completed 2 doses. Only the SARI cases needed admission, among them 95.7% were cured. 6.5% were diagnosed as influenza- A virus, 26.1% had COVID-19, and 67.5% were negative. Among those with influenza, 97.3% had H3N2 subtype, and 2.7% had H1N1 pdm09. Conclusions: The percentage of influenza virus in Iraq is relatively small. The age, classification of case (ILI or SARI), having diabetes, heart disease, or immunological disease, and taking COVID-19 vaccine have a significant association with influenza. Recommendations: It’s needed for similar sentinel sites in other health directorates and for rising health education about seasonal influenza and its vaccine.

Necrotizing pneumonia (NP) is a severe form of lung disease with a high mortality rate. Although NP generally occurs as a complication in community-acquired pneumonia, our case illustrates that NP can occur as a secondary infection even if the clinical course of COVID-19 pneumonia is favorable, particularly in intubated patients.

Background Healthcare workers (HCWs) have suffered considerable morbidity and mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic. Few studies have evaluated Coronavac vaccine effectiveness (VE), particularly in eastern Europe, where the vaccine has been widely used. Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study among HCWs in seven hospitals in Baku, Azerbaijan between May 17 to December 1, 2021, to evaluate primary series (two-dose) CoronaVac VE against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. Participants completed weekly symptom questionnaires, provided nasal swabs for SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR testing when symptomatic, and provided serology samples at enrolment that were tested for anti-spike and anti-nucleocapsid antibodies. We estimated VE as (1 – hazard ratio)*100 using a Cox proportional hazards model with vaccination status as a time-varying covariate. Results We enrolled 1582 HCWs. At enrolment, 1040 (66%) had received two doses of CoronaVac; 421 (27%) were unvaccinated. During the study period, 72 PCR-positive SARS-CoV-2 infections occurred; 36/39 (92%) sequenced samples were classified as delta variant. The adjusted primary series VE against COVID-19 illness was 29% (95% CI:-51%;67%). For the delta-predominant period, adjusted primary series VE was 19% (95% CI:-81%;64%). For the entire analysis period, adjusted primary series VE was 39% (95% CI:-40%;73%) for HCW vaccinated within 14–149 days, and 19% (95%CI:-81;63) for those vaccinated ≥150 days. Conclusions During a delta-predominant period in Azerbaijan, point estimates suggest that primary series CoronaVac protected nearly 1 in 3 HCWs against COVID-19, but this finding was not statistically significant. Our findings underscore the need to consider booster doses in individuals who have received primary series CoronaVac.

Objective: To quantify the transplacental transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and antibodies in pregnant women and their new-borns according to the trimester of maternal infection. Design: This was a prospective observational multicentre study including pregnant women with positivity for SARS-CoV-2 by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT‒PCR) or positivity by serology from April to December 2020. The study was designed to perform a systematic collection of mother/new-born dyad samples at birth. Setting: Eleven maternity wards in Eastern France Population: Pregnant women with confirmed COVID-19 infection during pregnancy and their new-borns. Methods: The SARS-CoV-2 viral load was measured by RT‒PCR. IgG and IgM antibodies to the receptor-binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Antibody concentrations and transplacental transfer ratios were analysed according to the term of maternal infection. Main Outcome Measure: SARS-CoV-2 viral load in maternal plasma or respiratory fluids and umbilical cord plasma and quantification of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody transfer. Results: Among 165 dyads enrolled, one congenital infection was confirmed (n=1 (0.63%) IC95% [0.02%; 3.48%]). Among 165 maternal sera tested, 107 (64.8%) were positive for IgG with a concentration > 25.6 BAU/ml. The average placental transfer ratio was 1.27 (95% CI [0.69–2.89]). The transfer ratio increased with increasing time between the onset of maternal infection and delivery (P value = 0.0001). Conclusions: We confirmed very low SARS-CoV-2 transplacental transmission of less than 1%. Transmission of antibodies is more likely when the infection occurs in the first or second trimester of pregnancy.

1. A survey on the recent COVID-19 epidemic in China was conducted. 2. The epidemic likely made over 85% of people in China sick in December 2022. 3. The epidemic likely ended in early January 2023. 4. The epidemic had the features of spreading more rapidly and widely and having a higher symptomatic rate than previously thought. 5. The above features could lead to many severe cases and deaths due to the shortages of medical resources. 6. The above features greatly enhanced the population immunity in China, which will accelerate the end of the COVID-19 pandemic and reduce the emergence of risky variants of SARS-CoV-2 in China.
