COVID-19 vaccine

New UCLA-led research questions the assumption that Paxlovid’s effectiveness in reducing COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in unvaccinated adults also applies to vaccinated adults.

Brandon Tsai’s research focuses on next-generation COVID-19 vaccines.

The findings suggest that efforts to encourage vaccination might do well to take advantage of positive feelings between different social groups.

Past injustices like the Tuskegee Syphilis Study are less likely to spark mistrust than poor interactions with physicians, UCLA psychologists say.

The project, supported by a $13.6 million grant, will enroll 15,000 health care workers from medical centers across the U.S.

UCLA’s Dr. Annabelle de St. Maurice discusses the safety and efficacy of the vaccines, which are now available to children as young as 6 months.

Research brief: Adding a protein called viral polymerase to vaccines could potentially create a more robust, enduring immune response, scientists say.

A UCLA study raises the possibility that vaccine boosters may be equally effective in improving antibodies’ ability to target multiple variants of the virus.

A UCLA study of 12,000 health care workers found infected individuals who were unvaccinated shed more viral particles.

The study, co-led by UCLA scientists, evaluated nearly 5,000 people at 33 academic medical centers.

The researchers said their findings held true across all demographics, including groups that have been hesitant to receive the vaccine.

To maintain the health and well-being of the campus community and that of the general public, students and employees alike are required to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

The policy contains limited exemptions for medical reasons and to accommodate disabilities or religious beliefs.

UCLA researchers found that previously infected people produced a vigorous antibody response similar to a severe natural infection after just one shot.

Keith Holyoak, professor of psychology, and Hal Hershfield, professor of marketing and behavioral decision-making, weigh in on reaching people with COVID-19 information.

Under the proposed policy, the university would require students, faculty, academic appointees and staff who are accessing campus facilities to be immunized against SARS-CoV-2.

The trend was seen across all the racial and ethnic groups studied and could provide insight into improving vaccination rates for COVID-19 and other illnesses.

Both vaccinated and non-vaccinated personnel will be tested to gauge how well the vaccines prevent infections and lessen their impact when they do occur.

Third vaccine OK’d for emergency use is safe, highly effective.

The discussion also included how campus would expand in-person operations as vaccinations increase and infections decline.

TranslateCovid.org delivers accurate information to communities often facing increased vulnerabilities because of a lack of access to official public health news in a language other than English.

UCLA Health share medically sound, evidence-based information about the safety and effectiveness of all of the vaccines.

The money will support programs and research on the impact of COVID-19 among Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, including new research into hate incidents.
