Was the UK’s strategy the optimal one? During the COVID-19 pandemic, public health authorities had to make swift decisions and chose whether to delay booster doses. Read more about the optimal timing of doses when resources are scarce here: journals.aps.org/prresearch/a... @theguardian.com
When to boost: How dose timing determines the epidemic threshold
Most vaccines require multiple doses, the first to induce recognition and antibody production and subsequent doses to boost the primary response and achieve optimal protection. We show that properly p...

Vaccini: il tempo tra le dosi può fare la differenza
Uno studio del Cnr dimostra come la gestione dell'intervallo tra la prima dose di vaccino (primer) e quella di richiamo (booster) sia un fattore determinante per l'esito della diffusione epidemica. La...

La scienza è un cammino. Non è lineare, non è prevedibile, e riguarda tutti noi. Non vi perdete per nessuna ragione #PecoreElettriche, il supplemento del il manifesto con storie di scienza curato da Andrea Capocci in edicola da oggi e per tutto il mese di luglio.
Quante storie da scrivere prima di diventare Scienza | il manifesto
(Editoriale) C’è la Scienza. E poi c’è la scienza, con la minuscola. La prima ci affascina perché rappresenta il limite ultimo della nostra conoscenza e, a volte, come ogni frontiera, mette paura. La ...
