Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing and continues to represent a huge threat to global public health and prosperity around the world. Vaccination constitutes one of our most powerful tools in curbing this pandemic and has allowed us to return to a somewhat normal lifestyle. On the other hand, the vaccination strategy is continuously evolving regarding the number of recommended administrations or the recent introduction of bivalent vaccines. This Special Issue aims to describe recent findings in terms of vaccine response, in light of the evolution of vaccination strategy. Particular attention will be given to articles (original research articles, reviews or commentaries) assessing the immune response in innovative ways, such as the T-cell response, new in vitro or cell-based assays. Studies on populations characterized by lower serological responses (hematological malignancies, transplanted people, immunsuppressed patients, etc.) are especially encouraged.
