Genomic monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 variants using sentinel SARI hospital surveillance.
remained minor in Belgium. Omicron BA.3 was never detected in SARI surveillance. Timeliness could not be evaluated for B.1.1.7, being already major at the start of the study period. CONCLUSIONS: Genomic ...
Humoral and cellular immune correlates of protection against COVID-19 in kidney transplant recipients.
in 54 patients. Symptomatic COVID-19 was diagnosed in 32% of kidney transplant recipients during a period of 6 months after booster vaccination. During this period, SARS-CoV-2 delta and omicron were ...
