Keeping it cool at BCCDC: It's ice cream appreciation day for @CDCofBC laboratory staff. @ubcpathology microbiologists Drs. Prystajecky, Morshed, Jassem, Sekirov, and Krajden handed out ice cream with surprise guest Dr. Bonnie Henry who stopped by to show her appreciation too!
Our #Covid_19 single-dose vaccine effectiveness study is out; overall mRNA and ChAdOx1 VE was 74% and 59% against infection and 86% and 94% and against hospitalization academic.oup.com/jid/advance-ar…
We validated an assay that can simultaneously detect antibodies against sars-cov-2 and other coronaviruses to better understand exposure influences on immunity after #COVID-19 or vaccination, check it out (pre-proof), written by @fangfang__li authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S13…

Very excited for @xuan_l1 's first PhD paper to be out in @mSystemsJ. TLDR: multiplex tiling PCR primer design and wastewater matrix impacted sensitivity of sequencing SARS-CoV VoCs. Also frequency of VoCs in WW correlated strongly with clinical cases. bit.ly/3piTvvG
Dr. Skowronski of @CDCofBC, working with others, including Drs. Prystajecky, Hoang, Jassem, and Krajden of @CDCofBC & @ubcpathology to produce excellent COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness data. More info @: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34244723/ and nexuswebcast.mediasite.com/Mediasite/Show… medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
BC COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness results show that two doses of #COVID19 vaccines provide strong protection, including against the #Delta variant, and prevent about 95% of hospitalizations. Protection is maintained for at least four months. Read more: ow.ly/Yiyi50GiX17
Latest on single dose vaccine effectiveness! While 1 dose of a ChAdOx1 had less protection (60%) against infection, just one dose of any vaccine reduced the hospitalization risk by more than 80%. #skowronski @spphubc @CDCofBC @UBCmedicine medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
We started our monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 on @UBC campus this week! Here is @xuan_l1 deploying our COSCa passive samplers (developed by @C_L_Sweeney 🇨🇦). Keep masking up, and remember to get both shots 💉! @CDCofBC @UBCcivil @NatPrysta @Mel_Glier @DrT1973
