New research from a team of scientists in Australia suggests that the second ‘booster’ dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine may not increase vaccine efficacy against severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The results suggest one dose of the vaccine could be sufficient in providing a robust immune response 11 days after inoculation. Study: […]
