Teaser: We’ve just started recruiting for our trial to explore whether dietary interventions can help improve age-related vaccine inefficacy! More soon. (5/5)

This was a real team effort with Simon Rapp, Paul Klenerman and Katja Simon from the @mdc-berlin.bsky.social and @ox.ac.uk

The piece appears in a stellar special issue on immune aging, which brings together an excellent lineup of authors and reviews worth exploring: nature.com/articles/s43...
(4/5)

While putting this together, we were struck by how little is still known in this area! In the review, we thus explore how targeting the biology of aging itself might provide more fundamental solutions to age-related declines in vaccine efficacy than technical fixes alone. (3/5)

We outline how age-related changes in the immune system shape vaccine responses, and discuss both traditional and emerging strategies to improve protection in older adults. A key focus is the intersection of geroscience and vaccinology.
