COV-Boost is an @NIHRresearch funded RCT to evaluate 3rd dose booster vaccinations against COVID-19
We're enrolling people aged 30 and over who have had 2 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, with the first in December 2020 or January 2021

Research led by @UHSFT has provided vital data for the UK’s #COVID19 booster programmes since 2021.
Now, new findings from @CovBoost reveal third-doses offer lasting protection after several months. The insight could be important around the globe. 🌍

Third-dose #COVID19 boosters offer lasting protection after several months, according to the latest results of the @UHSFT-led @CovBoost trial.
Our director @SaulFaust explains how this will support global policymaking. 🏥🌍

Would you like to be part of a Bivalent Omicron variant COVID-19 vaccine study?
If you've had three doses of COVID-19 vaccine and have not tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 3 months we would like to hear from you!

Great to see the outstanding work of the @southamptonCRF receiving such prominent national media coverage today. The Southampton-led @Covboost study has important findings for fourth dose #covid jabs in the UK and beyond.

Fourth doses of #covid vaccines have been offered to the most vulnerable in the UK and a wider group might get them later this year. Latest findings from the @southamptonCRF @Covboost study show these jabs offer excellent boosting immunity protection. bit.ly/3vZM3IM

The results of the @CovBoost fourth dose booster substudy are now online in @TheLancetInfDis
We demonstrated fourth doses of covid vaccines were safe and well tolerated and boost antibody levels above their peak following a third dose

Summary:
- Drops in S IgG by up to ~half by day 84
- Small drop for T cells
- S IgG drop more for mRNA boosters
- After 2x BNT, day 84 S IgG as good or better following Adenovirus boosters vs mRNA
- Reduced but still good neutralisation vs omicron at day 28 for mRNA boosters

Excited to finally share the @CovBoost data on persistence of immunity following third dose boosters for #COVID19
It makes a real difference which booster you get depending on your primary vaccine course
Tonnes of data here - let's take a look! 🧵

A new sub-study of @CovBoost, trialling lower #covid19 vaccine booster doses has launched. The study will take place at 15 hospitals across England, Wales and Scotland, and will include a total of over 900 participants.bit.ly/3rJncpc
Are you aged 18 - 30 and have had 2 doses of a #COVID19 vaccine?
You may be eligible for our new sub-study, trialling lower doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines as 3rd dose boosters for young adults!

The UKHSA played a key role in the laboratory testing of samples from the @CovBoost trial, which assessed possible vaccines for the UK’s booster rollout.
We will shortly begin testing samples from the trial against the new #OmicronVariant to assess their effectiveness.
We are delighted to be able to share the results of the @CovBoost trial which were published in @TheLancet overnight. @SaulFaust, trial lead, said: “Southampton’s #CovBoost trial has informed the UK which boosters are safe to use this winter.”
