A fantastic day last week celebrating the launch of the BHF Manchester Centre of Research Excellence. Excited for all the work to come over the next 5 years

We showed that vaccination significantly decreased COVID-19 related hospitalisation & mortality in congenital heart disease patients, but even post-vaccine they have a higher risk of severe outcomes. Made possible by @thebhf.bsky.social Data Science Centre

A graph showing that CHD cases have a higher risk of both hospitalisation & death pre-vaccination (for COVID-19). Post-vaccination the risks of both are significantly reduced, but still higher in CHD cases than controls
