Similar immune response after same, different COVID-19 vaccine boosterAmong 457 adult participants in an ongoing phase 1/2 clinical trial who completed primary COVID-19 vaccination with the Moderna, Johnson & Johnson (J&J), or Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines, a booster dose with either the same (homologous) or a different brand (heterologous) induced an immune response and was safe.Baylor College of Medicine researchers led the open-label trial, published yesterday in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).Adults who had completed a COVID-19 vaccine regimen of two Moderna or Pfizer doses or one J&J dose at least 12 weeks earlier received a booster dose with one of the three vaccines at 10 US sites from May 29 to Aug 13, 2021.Among the 457 participants, 154 received a booster dose with Moderna, 150 received J&J, and 153 were given Pfizer.

Participants were followed for 29 days after receipt of the booster. The researchers said they plan to monitor vaccinees for 1 year to assess long-term immune response.Regardless of whether participants received a homologous or heterologous ("mix and match") booster, neutralizing antibody concentrations against a SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus rose fourfold, to 73, and binding levels increased fivefold, to 55.Homologous boosters increased neutralizing antibody levels fourfold, to 20, and heterologous boosters increased levels sixfold, to 73.

Spike protein-specific T-cell responses rose in all participants except for those given a homologous J&J booster.Concentrations of CD8+ T cells were most durable in those who received the J&J vaccine as their primary dose, and a heterologous J&J booster substantially increased spike-specific CD8+ T cells in those who completed primary vaccination with Moderna

Crosby and Stills join Nash and Young in Spotify protest over Joe Rogan’s COVID-19 ‘disinformation’

wrote in a “Déjà Vu” statement.“While we always value alternate points of view, knowingly spreading disinformation during this global pandemic has deadly consequences. Until real action is taken to show that a concern for humanity must be balanced with commerce, we don’t want our music—or the music we made together—to be on the same platform.”Young started the trend when he pulled his solo catalog from the streaming service last week in protest of “fake information about vaccines” being spread on the popular “The Joe Rogan Experience.” Joni Michell, a contemporary of the 60s supergroup, followed suit on the heels of Young’s announcement and Nash joined the chorus of musicians requesting to flee the service on Tuesday, calling on Spotify to be “responsible and accountable” for its content.The band’s request applies to music the band released both with and without sometimes-member Young, as well as solo releases from Crosby and Stills, according to a press release.Crosby tweeted last month that removing his catalog might be difficult because he sold his recorded music and publishing rights. Music from CSNY, CSN and Crosby, Nash and Stills was still on Spotify as of Thursday night.Rogan, who has a $100 million deal with the streaming service, addressed accusations on Sunday that his show promoted unsanctioned COVID-19 treatments and claimed that vaccinations were harmful to some.“I’m not trying to promote misinformation.
