Strength and weakness of disease-induced herd immunity in networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
When a fraction of a population becomes immune to an infectious disease, the population-wide infection risk decreases nonlinearly due to collective protection known as herd immunity. Studies based on mean-field models suggest that natural infection in a heterogeneous population may induce herd immunity more efficiently than homogeneous immunization ...

Patients with treated indolent lymphomas immunized with BNT162b2 have reduced anti‐spike neutralizing IgG to SARS‐CoV‐2 variants, but preserved antigen‐specific T cell responses

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 131-139, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Patients with indolent lymphoma undertaking recurrent or continuous B cell suppression are at risk of severe COVID‐19. Patients and healthy controls (HC; N = 13) received two doses of BNT162b2: follicular lymphoma (FL; N = 35) who were treatment naïve (TN; N = 11) or received immunochemotherapy (ICT; N = 23) and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia
