We held a thank you event in Oxford today
@OUHospitals@OxfordBRC for our OPTIC/PITCH/@vibrant_uk healthcare worker participants. Fab to hear all our participants' Qs on what we have achieved, immunity of "Never Nevers" etc. Great organising from Sofia/Lizzie/Anni/Callum & all
People with three vaccine doses neutralise BA.4 and BA.5 less well than they do earlier Omicron sub-lineages, a @UniofOxford team discovered last month in a study supported by @UKCICstudy.
Their findings could explain repeat Omicron reinfections.

Vaccine-induced immunity provides more robust heterotypic immunity than natural infection to emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern. | Research Square. First author Dr Donal Skelly from Waterford leading on this important research on vaccine efficacy https://t.co/SbqlDicqMt
Delighted that a pre-print of our study examining antibody and T cell immunity resulting from natural infection and Pfizer vaccination on VOC (B1.1.7 & B1.351) is out today. Thanks to the large, diverse and brilliant teams involved.

NEW: a common response to reports of hospitals struggling this winter is "it’s no different to a bad flu season!"
I’ve tracked down historical data on flu ICU admissions, including winter 2017-18, a record high.
Here’s how England’s Covid winter compares to a bad flu season 📹
I am excited to post this advert for a new post-doctoral post in our lab, working on neuroinflammation, #delirium and brain energy metabolism, in collaboration with John Newman @GeriSciDoc . I would really appreciate some RETWEETs to help it find its audience !
