COVID-19 vaccination survey and anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG responses in a human cohort from Schistosoma mansoni-endemic villages in Mayuge District, Uganda: a cross-sectional study.

Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in devastating health and economic consequences worldwide. Vaccination has been a central pillar for COVID-19 prevention and control. Understanding the immunomodulatory effects of helminth infections on COVID-19 vaccine-induced immune responses and vaccine efficacy is crucial to the development and deployment of effective vaccination strategies in low- and middle-income countries with a high prevalence of worms.
