The second and third years of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic have been marked by the repeated emergence and replacement of \u2018variants\u2019, the most recent examples being Delta and Omicron.<\/p>\n

Researchers from theme 5 of the PROTECT NCS<\/a><\/span>\u00a0presented their work at this year’s Options conference in Belfast,\u00a0which is the only global scientific meeting with a dedicated focus on influenza. Their poster describes a hamster contact exposure challenge model to assess protection conferred by vaccination or prior infection against re-infection.<\/p>\n
