Proud to represent @JohnsHopkinsSPH to answer some questions about the COVID-19 vaccines!

[Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health @JohnsHopkinsSPH]

Each week, our posts attract hundreds of comments related to #COVID19—far more than our social media team can answer. Lately a ton have been about vaccines in particular.

To settle some of the FAQs, we asked @JannaShapiro, @Jo_Wanna21, @KayteAndersen and @Neia_Prata for help.

Great to see this part of my dissertation research officially published!

[Sabra Klein @sabraklein1998]

Fantastic work through our NIA @NIH_ORWH SCORE. Older males show a greater age and frailty associated decline in immunity than females. @JannaShapiro led this effort! @KleinLab https://t.co/UZguN33D0y

[Dawn Bowdish @MsMacrophage]

This is going to be a great event -attend virtually or in person and hear about how immunization contributes to healthy aging w/ @jmllhfx @IDEpiPhD @BastaLab @IntFedAgeing @SteiniBrown @JannaShapiro & me. Great opportunity for trainees. https://t.co/iXt3cXVd07

New in @JCI_insight ! Great work from members of our group, including @solsolLala_ , @JannaShapiro , @Chris_Caputo9 and great collaborators!

This great research was led by @JannaShapiro with #DrSeanLeng as senior author, with prior trainees in his laboratory and his collaborators at @JohnsHopkinsSPH

[Sabra Klein @sabraklein1998]

Among older adults, females enter each #flu season with more pre-existing immunity than males. Aging also causes a greater decline in immunity in males than females. #SABV @Nature_NPJ @JohnsHopkinsSPH @JannaShapiro @KleinLab https://t.co/gJ3A98eznR

[Sabra Klein @sabraklein1998]

Older adults are often highly vaccinated against influenza. The durability of humoral immunity from year to year is better maintained in older women than men. #SABV @JannaShapiro

[Katherine J. Wu, Ph.D. @KatherineJWu]

I wrote about why it's tough to figure out who's truly most at risk of developing the very rare blood clots that seem to be appearing after a small minority of J&J vaccines. It's part of the reason the pause is dragging on: The answers are hard to find.

[Janna Shapiro, Ph.D. @JannaShapiro]

Had a great conversation with Dr. Chris Gilbert @PsychToday about sex and gender differences in adverse events to the COVID-19 vaccines https://t.co/Zl47v2iX3r

[Janna Shapiro, Ph.D. @JannaShapiro]

@AshishYad @RosemaryJMorgan @GlobalHealthBMJ @sabraklein1998 Yes, absolutely! We kept this piece at a more conceptual level, but mechanically, interaction terms are a useful way to look at sex/gender differences

[Janna Shapiro, Ph.D. @JannaShapiro]

We urge those working in global health to consider sex and gender as variables of importance that can explain, rather than confuse, their research. #SABV

[Sabra Klein @sabraklein1998]

This is such an important point for all clinical and public health research. Please read and retweet. @RosemaryJMorgan @JannaShapiro @JH_WomensHealth @NIH_ORWH @CIHRIGH @FDAWomen Stop ‘controlling’ for sex and gender in global health research https://t.co/3K7WF7mOS0
