    Differences in the immune response elicited by two immunization schedules with an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in a randomized phase 3 clinical trial

    Nicolás MS Gálvez, Gaspar A Pacheco ... Alexis M Kalergis
    The humoral and cellular immune responses were evaluated for two immunization schedules for the inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, CoronaVac, with two doses separated by 2 or 4 weeks, showing that these responses are mostly similar, with differences in neutralization capacities.
