Investigation on the hesitancy of COVID-19 vaccination among liver transplant recipients: A cross-sectional study in China
CONCLUSION: For liver transplant recipients, COVID-19 vaccine is an important preventive measure.

A Look Back at 2022: Progress Towards the Treatment of Aging as a Medical Condition
