A new study led by UK virologist and College of Medicine Vice Dean for Research Becky Dutch reveals foundational characteristics of SARS-CoV-2's spike protein.
The project, funded by UK’s UNITE Research Priority Area, will enhance understanding of COVID-19 vaccine skepticism among populations historically less likely to become vaccinated.
As the COVID delta variant continues to spread across the United States, questions remain around both vaccine effectiveness and vaccination rates, and what these numbers could mean moving into the fall.
The research team hopes the study’s results will inform science-based decisions about mask use and social distancing after vaccination, especially as new variants spread and emerge.
