AI Summary
Dr. Griffin provides a clinical update on various topics related to COVID-19 and Influenza, including vaccine coadministration, effectiveness of Influenza vaccines, susceptibility to RSV hospitalization, rapid antigen tests for SARS-CoV-2, safety and immunogenicity of mRNA vaccines, optimal duration of corticosteroids in COVID-19 treatment, loss of infectivity among healthcare workers, and the effects of famotidine on post-COVID-19 cognitive and behavioral dysfunctions.
In his weekly clinical update, Dr. Griffin discusses the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of coadministration of COVID-19 and Influenza vaccines, interim effectiveness estimates of 2023 southern hemisphere influenza vaccines in preventing Influenza-associated hospitalizations, genome-wide association study of susceptibility to RSV hospitalization in young children <5 years of age, performance of rapid antigen tests to detect symptomatic and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, safety and immunogenicity of XBB.1.5-containing mRNA vaccines, optimal duration of systemic corticosteroids in COVID-19 treatment, timing and predictors of loss of infectivity among healthcare workers with mild primary and recurrent COVID-19, and effects of famotidine on cognitive and behavioral dysfunctions induced in post-COVID-19 infection.
