Evidence suggests possible damage to male reproductive organs from COVID. Each day, clinicians and scientists are learning more about the acute and long-term health effects of COVID-19 on the body. A new study from the University of Georgia explores the potential impact of

Antibody levels higher when people receive SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in the afternoon, say researchers. Our internal 24-hour circadian clock regulates many aspects of physiology, including the response to infectious disease and vaccination. A new study published in the Journal of Biological Rhythms demonstrates that

Harvard experts warn of a “surge upon a surge” in COVID-19 infections in the coming weeks, as cases involving the Omicron variant pile onto the nationwide illness and death the Delta strain has left in its wake in recent months.

British Reporter — New research shows that the first SARS-CoV-2 spike protein a person encounters shapes their subsequent immune response against current and future variants. This encounter could be by vaccination or infection. The spike protein imparts different properties that have an

Countries around the world are making preparations against omicron, a new variant of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19. On Wednesday, Dec. 1, omicron’s presence in California was confirmed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A new study has shown that the airborne transmission of COVID-19 is highly random and suggests that the two-metre rule was a number chosen from a risk ‘continuum’, rather than any concrete measurement of safety.

Lower antibody level doesn’t mean less protection from the coronavirus. If you got the COVID-19 shots back in early spring, your antibodies are likely waning. But it’s not something you need to be worried about, according to a new study from the University

Dismissive doctors, inconclusive tests, and an array of debilitating symptoms all too often explained away as signs of mental, rather than physical, distress. That’s been the experience for many patients suffering long COVID, a poorly-defined, long-lasting suite of symptoms affecting millions of
