Getting lots of questions about COVID vaccine safety, which is good! Here's a quick compilation of some resources on COVID vaccine safety.🧵
This covers the basics about the RNA vaccines and safety:

I did a Youtube video on RNA vaccines and COVID vaccine safety with the excellent @MedCramVideos . It has been very popular
(over 1 million views!)
Lots of misinformation has been targeting pregnancy and fertility and COVID vaccines. This is a FANTASTIC resource for real information on pregnancy and COVID vaccines.

And a strong voice by Prof. Akiko Iwasaki, @VirusesImmunity , calling out the conspiracy theories on pregnancy and fertility.
Other common COVID RNA vaccine safety questions:
And:
Lastly, what about getting vaccinated if you have already had COVID?

Our new paper is out showing T cell responses to the Novavax vaccine, studying Novavax vaccine clinical trial participants, led by the outstanding Dr. @CModerbacher! With a nice commentary article by @PC_immuno . 🧵

This complements our immune memory study comparing 4 COVID vaccines, including Novavax.
Including direct CD4 and CD8 T cell memory comparisons

We put together an extensive tweetorial of this study earlier:
And a deep dive into some of the cool immunological questions the experiments shed light on:

The brand newly approved COVID boosters are going to work well. They won’t be a game changer—won’t prevent all infections—but are the best booster option and will provide a lot of protection.

It’s the immunity you want heading into the Fall and winter.

To clarify a few things and add some details:

The Omicron booster vaxs are clearly safe. Billions of Covid mRNA vax doses have been given, with excellent safety. Regarding the new “bivalent” boosters, there was a 2021 bivalent COVID booster vax human trial…
and it was safe and boosted immunity well. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Wonderful workshop on Vaccine Durability questions today and yesterday with NIAID. Thanks to my session co-chair @TheBcellArtist, and the awesome panelists. There was intensive and wonderful discussion, and we did make several recommendations 👇🏼
The awesome panelists were @deeptabhattacha @KingLabIPD, Rama Amara, Kanta Subbarao, and Chris Chiu (are they on Twitter?)

The rapid fire recommendations at the end of the discussion:
What kind of studies that would bring us closer to addressing some of the knowledge gaps in engineering durable vaccine immune responses?

It is good to see Novavax antibody data on Omicron 1,2,4 and 5 from @veeslerlab out. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
We provided the 2x Novavax immunized donor samples, which we extensively compared to mRNA and J&J vaccines for immune memory antibodies, CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells, and memory B cells in a recent paper sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
And it is good to see a new preprint from Penny Moore and colleagues with similar Novavax Omicron data.

What parts of the immune system are protecting you against COVID? Immunology is complicated, so here's a graphic to try and explain it.
Layered defenses against SARS-CoV-2, or the “Swiss cheese” model of immunity. Image
Multiple types of adaptive immunity with diverse mechanisms likely provide layers of defense against COVID-19. Conceptually, these are like a “Swiss cheese model”: even though each layer is imperfect, together they keep the pathogen from breaching all layers of defense.
The graphic was inspired by the fantastic masking and public health layered defenses Swiss cheese model of @MackayIM.
