COVID-19 vaccines remain effective despite helminth-induced immune modulation

More than a 4th of the world's colonisation is affected by helminth infections, which tin profoundly change the immune system. In a preclinical study, researchers recovered that mRNA- and protein-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines efficaciously protected Schistosoma-infected mice against the virus, contempt the mice's chiseled immune effect profiles. These results suggest that chronic helminth corruption does not needfully compromise vaccine-induced protection. The findings were published successful the diary Frontiers successful Immunology.
