Experts develop model to predict vax efficacy
The Morning Standard|March 02, 2022
RESEARCHERS from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) in Australia have developed a mathematical model to predict how antibodies generated by Covid-19 vaccines offer protection against symptomatic infections. This model aims at finding optimal use of available Covid-19 vaccines while speeding up development of new ones.

These antibodies are typically present in the blood for months and prevent virus entry by blocking the spike protein.
