A small jab – a big effect: nonspecific immunomodulation by vaccines

TLDR
New research suggests that the nonspecific effects of vaccines are related to cross-reactivity of the adaptive immune system with unrelated pathogens, and to training of the innate immune system through epigenetic reprogramming.

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) in Children: Indian Perspectives

TL;DR: From the point of epidemiology, reporting and testing of children for COVID-19 are less, which lead to undersampling and under-reporting of the disease, which facilitates transmission of the organism by rendering children as carriers.

Bio inspired materials for nonviral vaccine delivery

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the recent advancements in the applications of different bio-inspired materials as efficient carriers for the delivery of vaccines, including hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials.

Pertinence des méthodes vaccinales actuelles vis-à-vis de l'immunosénescence et nouvelles stratégies développées

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the effect of vaccination on the health of the population in terms of its immunosenescence, i.e., l’immunosity against new defis a vaccination.

Adaptive immune features of natural killer cells

TL;DR: A mouse model of cytomegalovirus infection is used to show that, like T cells, NK cells bearing the virus-specific Ly49H receptor proliferate 100-fold in the spleen and 1,000- fold in the liver after infection.

Bacille Calmette-Guérin induces NOD2-dependent nonspecific protection from reinfection via epigenetic reprogramming of monocytes

TL;DR: It is shown that bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination in healthy volunteers led to a four- to sevenfold increase in the production of IFN-γ, but also to a twofold enhanced release of monocyte-derived cytokines, such as TNF and IL-1β, in response to unrelated bacterial and fungal pathogens.

How do vaccines effect people?

The paper discusses the nonspecific effects of vaccines on the immune system, suggesting that vaccines can improve the general resistance to unrelated pathogens. However, the exact mechanisms and reasons for these effects are still not fully understood.
