Low-frequency variants in mildly symptomatic vaccine breakthrough infections presents a doubled-edged sword

Journal of Medical Virology

Brittany R. Magalis, et al.

2022-03-20

The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern (VOC) has raised questions regarding vaccine protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection, transmission, and ongoing virus evolution. Twenty-three mildly symptomatic “vaccination breakthrough” infections were identified as early as January 2021 in Alachua County, Florida, among individuals fully vaccinated with either the BNT162b2 (Pfizer) or the Ad26 (Janssen/J&J) vaccines.

Applying Lean principles to create a high throughput mass COVID-19 vaccination site

BMJ Open Quality

Meghan N. Froman, et al.

Mass-vaccination sites can achieve high output by creating a standard physical design for workspaces and standardised work protocols, and by timing each step in the vaccination process to create a value stream map that can identify and remove all wasteful steps.
