We have new results on T cell responses to #Omicron, and its good news!
Paper submitted for peer review & preprint: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
📢TL;DR: Most of your T cell responses from vaccination or previous infection still recognise Omicron. #Getvaccinated#GetthoseTcellsnow
We describe T cell responses to #Omicron compared to original SARS-CoV-2 in ppl vaxxed with JnJ (1x and 2x) and Pfizer (2x). We also studied Omicron-infected patients and compared their T cells to patients hospitalised in previous waves (n=138 participants in total).
