#ENDVOC researchers find that high levels of a specific type of antibody called IgG4 may increase the risk of breakthrough #COVID infections in people who have received mRNA booster doses. The study followed a cohort of healthcare workers in Catalonia for more than three years. "Booster doses remain essential for protection, but our findings suggest the need to re-evaluate vaccine formulations or booster schedules to ensure sustained protection," said Gemma Moncunill, lead co-author. 🔗https://lnkd.in/dhab59qs

ISGlobal is a public-private partnership with a longstanding commitment to global health that builds on the existing research, training, and health activities of its founders and strives to contribute to the global effort to improve health worldwide. It is the fruit of an innovative alliance between the ”la Caixa” Foundation and academic and government institutions to contribute to the efforts undertaken by the international community to address the challenges in global health. ISGlobal is a consolidated hub of excellence in research that has grown out of work first started in the world of health care by the Hospital Clínic and the Parc de Salut MAR and in the academic sphere by the University of Barcelona and Pompeu Fabra University. Its working model is based on the generation of scientific knowledge through Research Programmes and Groups, and its translation through the areas of Training and Analysis and Global Development.
