  19. Medical countermeasures against henipaviruses: a review and public health perspective

    • The Lancet Infectious Diseases

    • Henipaviruses, including Nipah virus, are regarded as pathogens of notable epidemic potential because of their high pathogenicity and the paucity of specific medical countermeasures to control infections in humans. We review the evidence of medical countermeasures against henipaviruses and project their cost in a post-COVID-19 era.

  20. Bell's palsy following vaccination with mRNA (BNT162b2) and inactivated (CoronaVac) SARS-CoV-2 vaccines: a case series and nested case-control study

    • The Lancet Infectious Diseases

    • Our findings suggest an overall increased risk of Bell's palsy after CoronaVac vaccination. However, the beneficial and protective effects of the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine far outweigh the risk of this generally self-limiting adverse event. Additional studies are needed in other regions to confirm our findings.

  21. Dynamic IgG seropositivity after rollout of CoronaVac and BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccines in Chile: a sentinel surveillance study

    • The Lancet Infectious Diseases

    • IgG seropositivity was lower after CoronaVac than after BNT162b2 and declined over time since vaccination for CoronaVac recipients but not BNT162b2 recipients. Prolonged IgG monitoring will allow further evaluation of seropositivity overtime, providing data, in conjunction with effectiveness studies, for possible future re-assessment of vaccination strategies.

  22. Risk factors and disease profile of post-vaccination SARS-CoV-2 infection in UK users of the COVID Symptom Study app: a prospective, community-based, nested, case-control study

    • The Lancet Infectious Diseases

    • To minimise SARS-CoV-2 infection, at-risk populations must be targeted in efforts to boost vaccine effectiveness and infection control measures. Our findings might support caution around relaxing physical distancing and other personal protective measures in the post-vaccination era, particularly around frail older adults and individuals living in more deprived areas, even if these individuals are vaccinated, and might have implications for strategies such as booster vaccinations.

  23. Hospital admission and emergency care attendance risk for SARS-CoV-2 delta (B.1.617.2) compared with alpha (B.1.1.7) variants of concern: a cohort study

    • The Lancet Infectious Diseases

    • This large national study found a higher hospital admission or emergency care attendance risk for patients with COVID-19 infected with the delta variant compared with the alpha variant. Results suggest that outbreaks of the delta variant in unvaccinated populations might lead to a greater burden on health-care services than the alpha variant.

  24. How to be prepared for the future

    • The Lancet Infectious Diseases

    • Global Health Security–a blueprint for the future, by Lawrence O. Gostin, is a sweeping journey across current and future issues in health security and the urgency of addressing current gaps in governance. Gostin begins with the COVID-19 pandemic, arguably the greatest global catastrophe in over 100 years, and asks the question why the world was so unprepared.

  25. Research in brief

    • The Lancet Infectious Diseases

    • Scientists working with AstraZeneca to investigate vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia have identified a molecular mechanism that might explain the life-threatening condition seen in a very small number of people after receipt of viral-vectored COVID-19 vaccines. The team studied ChAdOx1, the adenovirus used in the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
