In happier news, today is National Black Women Physicians Day.

My fellow Black women physicians and I proudly stand on the shoulders of Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831–1895), who, in 1864, became the first Black woman to earn a medical degree in the United States.

💉 How do we optimise the neutralising antibody responses of HSCT/CAR-T recipients following COVID vaccination? We found ChAdOx1-S recipients were EIGHT times more likely to have neutralising antibodies than those receiving mRNA vaccines in our new paper! Read more --> doi.org/10.1111/bjh....
Greater preservation of SARS‐CoV‐2 neutralising antibody responses following the ChAdOx1‐S (AZD1222) vaccine compared with mRNA vaccines in haematopoietic cell transplant recipients
Knowledge of factors impacting immune responses after COVID-19 vaccination is essential for guiding revaccination strategies in haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and chimeric antigen recepto...
