COVID-19 booster vaccinations help the immune system fight SARS-CoV-2
Posted: 14 July, 2022
Pirbright research shows that immunity to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, decreases over time after vaccination, but that booster vaccinations can help restore immunity and help the immune system recognise new variants of the virus, including Omicron.
Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 has been pivotal in protecting people across the world, especially older adults and the vulnerable, preventing serious disease and hospitalisations.
Pirbright was one of just 16 exhibits selected to attend the prestigious Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2022 which showcased cutting-edge science for people of all ages.
