Two vaccine doses were 31% effective against symptomatic or asymptomatic Omicron variant infection among children aged 5 to 11 years and 59% effective among adolescents aged 12 to 15 years. In contrast, 2 doses provided 87% protection against Delta variant infection among adolescents. Still, the authors recommended that all children and...

Author summary Large population based genomic studies have discovered genetic variations associated with severe manifestations of Coronarvirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this study, we screened for other human conditions that...
Our findings suggest that an online breathing and wellbeing programme can improve the mental component of HRQoL and elements of breathlessness in people with persisting symptoms after COVID-19. Mind–body and music-based approaches, including practical, enjoyable, symptom-management techniques might have a role supporting recovery.
Highlights
- We separate wearable heart rate into cardiopulmonary, circadian, and other signals
- Parameters from different physiological systems enable disease tracking
- Individual signals change in distinct ways around COVID-19 symptom onset
- Together, the parameter changes can distinguish healthy from infection periods
