Booster dose of SARS-CoV-2 messenger RNA vaccines strengthens the specific immune response of patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A prospective multicenter longitudinal study
Since the COVID-19 pandemic appearance, a global effort has been made to develop effective vaccines to stem SARS-CoV-2 infection through the induction of a coordinated B and T cell immune response (Agrati et al., 2021; Aiello et al., 2022a; Sette and Crotty, 2021, 2022). Humoral immunity consists of antibodies binding the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein that neutralizes the virus, whereas cellular immunity includes virus-specific B and T cells, which provide long-term memory and promptly expand following re-exposure to antigens (Sette and Crotty, 2021, 2022).A global epidemiological analysis of COVID-19 vaccine types and clinical outcomes
SARS-CoV-2 has led to more than 275 million cases of disease and 5 million deaths worldwide. COVID-19 vaccines deployed in many parts of the world since early 2021, albeit unevenly, have been shown to protect vaccinees against disease and mortality (Al Kaabi et al., 2021; Butt et al., 2021; Cheng et al., 2021; Fadlyana et al., 2021; Jara et al., 2021; Li et al., 2021; Rotshild et al., 2021; Sadoff et al., 2021; Tanriover et al., 2021). However, at the time this study was conducted, there was conflicting evidence about the quality and potency of immune protection afforded by COVID-19 messenger RNA (mRNA)-based and adenovirus-vectored vaccines (ADVV) compared with inactivated virus vaccines (IVV) against SARS-CoV-2 pre-Omicron variants (Cheng et al.Varicella zoster meningitis following COVID-19 vaccination: a report of two cases
In Thailand, immunization against COVID-19 began in February 2021. The two major types of vaccines used are inactivated (CoronaVac or Sinovac®) and viral vector (AstraZeneca®). Globally, there have been a number of case reports of reactivation of varicella zoster infection within 28 days after immunization with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (Chiu et al., 2021; Furer et al., 2021; Lee et al., 2021; McMahon et al., 2021; Psichogiou et al., 2021; Rodríguez-Jiménez et al., 2021). A few cases have also been reported after viral vector and inactivated COVID-19 vaccination (Aksu and Öztürk, 2021; Arora et al., 2021; Bostan and Yalici-Armagan, 2021; Chiu et al., 2021).Thrombosis patterns and clinical outcome of COVID-19 vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
More than 233 million people have been infected with SARS-CoV-2, and 4.7 million people have died of the disease worldwide (as of 1 October 2021). Several vaccines have been developed concerning this public health problem, and 6.2 billion doses have already been administered (COVID-19 Map - Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center, October 1, 2021). A phase-III clinical trial of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (Oxford-AstraZeneca) vaccine included 12,021 participants from the United Kingdom, Brazil, and South Africa, and reported no adverse events related to unusual thrombotic events (Voysey et al., 2021).Hypersensitivity reaction to hyaluronic acid dermal filler after COVID-19 vaccination: A series of cases in São Paulo, Brazil
Brazil ranks third for the number of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and second for the mortality rate worldwide; however, vaccination is changing the scenario quickly. In São Paulo, by December 15, 2021, 78.0% of the population was fully vaccinated (Vacinômetro Governo do Estado de São Paulo). In 2019, according to the International Society for Aesthetic Surgery (ISAPS), Brazil ranked second for the number of aesthetic procedures performed (Global Survey 2019). Dermal fillers using hyaluronic acid (HA) have become popular for enhancing facial features in recent years (Batista, 2017).Clinical significance of hepatosplenic thrombosis in vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination
Since the first cases were discovered at the end of 2019, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has significantly altered the lives of people around the world. Vaccines to prevent infection from its causative organism, SARS-CoV-2, were developed by the end of 2020 and have now become humanity's hope of regaining normalcy by acquiring protective immunity against COVID-19. However, as vaccines against COVID-19 have been distributed globally at an unprecedented rate, cases of serious adverse events post-vaccination have been accumulating.Sudden sensorineural hearing loss after COVID-19 vaccination
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread rapidly and was declared a pandemic (Kilic et al., 2020, Iftikhar et al., 2021). At present, more than 200 million people worldwide have been infected, among whom more than four million have died. In this situation, vaccination for COVID-19 is important and is being prompted in many countries.The role of COVID‐19 survivor status and gender towards neutralizing antibody titers 1, 2, 3 months after Sinovac vaccine administration on clinical‐year medical students in Indonesia
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been actively circulating and causing disease for over a year (Jalkanen et al., 2021). In Indonesia, the first case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was confirmed on March 2, 2020, and the virus has rapidly spread since then, disrupting multiple aspects of life, including healthcare, such as by hindering routine childhood immunizations due to limited health services (Fahriani et al., 2021). With the increasing incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection, a high prevalence of long COVID-19 and its consequences has also been reported (Fahriani et al., 2021; Yusuf et al., 2021).Bilateral uveitis after inoculation with COVID-19 vaccine: A case report
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly infectious and pathogenic respiratory disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)(Shereen et al.,2020). It has been declared a pandemic. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), as of 30 August 2021, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases worldwide reached 216,229,741 with 4,496,681 deaths reported worldwide (WHO coronavirus (COVID19) dashboard). The rapid spread of this disease has prompted researchers to search for an effective and safe COVID-19 vaccine, with the aim of suppressing the pandemic and restoring social and economic activity as soon as possible.The Global Health Security Index is not predictive of vaccine rollout responses among OECD countries
Objective: This study sought to evaluate the utility of the Global Health Security (GHS) index in predicting the launch of COVID-19 vaccine rollout by Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) member countries.Methods: Country-level data on the preparedness to respond to infectious disease threats through vaccination rollout were collected using the GHS index. OECD member countries were rank-ordered based on the percentage of their populations fully vaccinated against COVID-19.Side effects and perceptions following Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccination
SARS-CoV-2, causing COVID-19 (Habas et al., 2020), has spread fast worldwide, resulting in various levels of illness. On March 11, 2020, it was announced that SARS-CoV-2 is a worldwide pandemic, and it is with us to this day (Lai et al., 2020). Although numerous therapeutic medications have been presented to resist COVID-19, they remain supportive and require more randomized control studies to determine their efficacy and potency.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused the current Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in a significant disruption in social lives and has had a major economic impact. Countries around the globe have taken extraordinary measures to combat the disease. The results from phase III clinical trials have shown that both the Pfizer-BioNTech messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine (BNT162b2) and the Oxford-AstraZeneca adenovirus vector vaccine ChAdOx1-S, also known as Ad26.COV2.S, are very effective in decreasing disease and mortality with a planned two-dose schedule (Polack et al., 2020).
