Authors describe mRNA1273-elicited binding and neutralizing antibodies in 33 healthy adults in an ongoing phase 1 trial, 180 days after the second dose of 100 μg (day 209).

Whether or not people who have been infected SARS-CoV-2 should be vaccinated is unclear. This observational cohort study, the authors enrolled 100 health care workers, including 38 with a documented history of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

In this article, the authors report findings in five patients who presented with venous thrombosis and thrombocytopenia 7 to 10 days after receiving the first dose of the ChAdOx1nCoV-19 adenoviral vector vaccine against COVID-19.

In this article, the authors report findings in 23 patients who presented with thrombosis and thrombocytopenia 6 to 24 days after receiving the first dose of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine (AstraZeneca).
