Vaccination approach in patients with an allergic reaction to COVID-19 vaccines or at risk of developing allergic reactions
CONCLUSIONS: Considering the potentially life-saving benefits of vaccination in a global pandemic environment, it is a safe and effective method to administer vaccines to at-risk patients using desensitization or split dosing techniques, based on their sensitivity status determined through a PEG skin test. This approach allows for the avoidance of preventing access to vaccines, while still ensuring the safety of patients.PMID:37345399 | DOI:10.5578/tt.20239920

Companies won ’t share COVID-19 shots, stalling future vaccine research
The U.S. government has tens of millions of unused doses of messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccines, regularly trashing shots as they pass their expiration dates. It’s a dismal reflection on recent vaccine uptake, but it’s also a serious roadblock for scientists testing and developing vaccines that could protect against future variants of SARS-CoV-2—and the next pandemic. Developers need existing vaccines as a benchmark to compare with new candidates. But government contracts with the vaccinemakers, and the companies’ own policies, prohibit the use of the vaccines for research purposes. “At this stage of the ...

B cells: The many facets of B cells in allergic diseases
B cells play a key role in our immune system through their ability to produce antibodies, suppress a pro-inflammatory state, and contribute to central immune tolerance. We aim to provide an in-depth knowledge of the molecular biology of B cells, including their origin, developmental process, types and subsets, and functions. In allergic diseases, B cells are well-known to induce and maintain immune tolerance through the production of suppressor cytokines such as interleukin-10 (IL-10). Similarly, B cells protect against viral infections such as SARS-CoV-2 that caused the recent COVID-19 pandemic.

Online Education in Allergy and Immunology: An Update to Conferences Online in Allergy (COLA)
We describe here our long standing but unique approach to providing online education in the specialty of allergy and immunology and its impact.  Recent FindingsIn this article, we report the process and updates to our online conferencing curriculum known as Conferences Online in Allergy (COLA). The program was developed at Children ’s Mercy Kansas City almost two decades ago for the utilization of fellows in training, as well as practicing allergists. Since its inception viewership has continued to grow.SummaryCOLA has served as a significant resource for both the new and practicing allergists. With rapidly ...
