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.

Thrilled to see our work on the durability of immune memory responses to #COVID19 finally published in @NatureComms This work wouldn't be possible without incredible team @Susannajd @EleanorBarnesOx @PKlenermanLab @aneogbe @DanScholar @skellydonal Chris Dold @pitchstudy 🧵👇

Our @pitchstudy comparing standard and extended dosing intervals of @pfizer BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine is out now @CellCellPress. Great collaboration with @AlexRichter3 @Susannajd @chrisjaduncan @LanceTurtle @Thushan_deSilva @Carroll_Lab_Ox and Screaton lab. https://t.co/AcjpXJQGmz

[Susanna Dunachie @Susannajd]

Our @pitchstudy paper on the impact of Pfizer dosing interval (which we preprinted in July) is now live @CellCellPress. Many thanks to all our many collaborators & the HCWs who participated @LanceTurtle @Thushan_deSilva @Carroll_Lab_Ox @AlexRichter3 @chrisjaduncan Chris Dold

Honoured to be a part of this with @skellydonal writing about systemic inflammation, #delirium and #dementia

ICYMI 📰 Antibody levels and ‘helper’ T cells are boosted after a ~10 week interval between 2 doses of the Pfizer #COVID19 vaccine

This @PITCHstudy research involved 5 UK centres 🤝 @UniofOxford @LivUni @sheffielduni @UniofNewcastle @unibirmingham

***New #COVID19 preprint alert*** https://t.co/rcPOn9JXVS Happy to share our recent work on how immune response changes 6 months after natural infection. (1/n)

[Susanna Dunachie @Susannajd]

V happy to get our @pitchstudy led by @Thushan_deSilva out today. Thanks++ to all @OxfordBRC @OUHospitals @NDMOxford who worked hard on this especially @EleanorBarnesOx @skellydonal @johnson_sile @pippa_matt @patpongrongkard @drkochi @aneogbe @JohnFrater5 @AzimAnsa @bonytown

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

[Donal Skelly @skellydonal]

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 !
