We conducted a combined analysis of the now 8 trials that studied the effect of BCG vaccine against COVID-19 and other respiratory infections in health care workers and elderly. BCG was associated with a 39% (3-62%) reduction in all-cause mortality #NSEvac https://t.co/DHePU3KAQQ

Antibody response to the 1st vaccine dose in individuals with pre-existing immunity corresponds to that in naïve individuals after the 2nd dose; those with immunity got significantly more side effects. It seems obvious to drop (at least) the 2nd dose. https://t.co/8hjjLpIMQm
