Credit: Zofeen Ebrahim/IPS By Zofeen EbrahimKARACHI, Jul 6 2023 (IPS) The first thing you notice about eight-month-old Manahil Zeeshan is how tiny she looks on the adult-size hospital bed at the government-run Sindh Institute of Child Health and Neonatology (SICHN) in Korangi, a neighbourhood in Karachi.

COVID-19 vaccination effectiveness and safety in vulnerable populations: a meta-analysis of 33 observational studies
Conclusion: Seroconversion rates after COVID-19 vaccination were generally worse in the vulnerable than healthy populations, but there was no difference in adverse events. Patients with hematological cancers had the lowest IgG antibody levels of all the vulnerable populations, so closer attention to these patients is recommended. Subjects who received the combined vaccine had higher antibody levels than those who received the single vaccine.

People who catch Omicron are less likely to get Long Covid
Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic unfurled across the United Kingdom, hematologist John Willan has worried about the disease’s toll on his patients.

He counted not just the dozens of deaths, but also persistent and disabling symptoms collectively called Long Covid, which have plagued millions over the past 3 years.
These days, Willan is less anxious. After Omicron began spreading in late 2021, COVID-19 deaths became a ra...
