📚 Our findings, along with our earlier study showing that #BCGvaccine increased risk of symptomatic [but not severe] #COVID-19, suggest that BCG vaccination does not enhance immunity to #SARSCoV2 or COVID-19 vaccines 🌍✨ #IDsky #Immunosky www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
BCG vaccination of healthcare workers for protection against COVID-19: 12-month outcomes from an international randomised controlled trial
Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine has immunomodulatory effects that may provide protection against unrelated infectious diseases. We aimed to dete…

💉 After two doses of adenovirus-based or mRNA-based #COVID vaccine, cytokine and adaptive immune responses to #SARSCoV2 were similar between the #BCGvaccine and Control groups indicating that the specific effects of #COVID19 vaccines overcame the immunomodulatory effects of BCG. 💪

🔬 Before #COVID-19 vaccination (almost a year after randomisation), healthcare workers who received #BCGVaccine had reduced cytokine responses to #SARSCoV2 compared to controls, indicating BCG-induced immunomodulation.

Hi Rod, it's great seeing the community rebuild on blue sky. Would love to be added to your immunology starter packs.
