The only antibody therapy known to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 variants XBB.1 BQ.1.1 in vitro + available under FDA EUA for immunocompromised COVID is convalescent plasma from vaccinated/boosted donors. Grateful to @giveblood for making CCP available!

Great news! Novavax COVID-19 vaccine just got authorized for 1st booster! Doesn’t matter what u got for 1st/2nd (primary series). Lots of ppl who had oddball symptoms after mRNA or J&J of unclear attribution have waited for this. Uses protein subunit tech, not mRNA.

Allergies are weird!! Thanks, @KatherineJWu, for “shedding” some light on cat allergies. The human body is a strange place. The more we learn, the stranger it gets. Glad your B cells and mast cells have made their peace with Calvin and Hobbes.

No one quite knows why some allergies disappear and others don’t.

The DOWNSIDE of going from single to multi dose vials is wastage/also many of us in primary care still do PPD skin test (to test for TB) which is intradermal,but not all health workers are trained to do this.Nevertheless its an incredible boost for a dwindling supply of vax -fin

Novel COVID variants are likely arising from immunocompromised people. ~2-3% of the population is immunocompromised. ~100% of the population is impacted by novel variants. We need to invest in preventing infection in immunocompromised people — globally.
