    Improving the representativeness of UK’s national COVID-19 Infection Survey through spatio-temporal regression and post-stratification

    Population-representative estimates of SARS-CoV-2 infection prevalence and antibody levels in specific geographic areas at different time points are needed to optimise policy responses. However, even populatio...

    Risk of SARS-CoV-2 reinfection during multiple Omicron variant waves in the UK general population

    SARS-CoV-2 reinfections increased substantially after Omicron variants emerged. Large-scale community-based comparisons across multiple Omicron waves of reinfection characteristics, risk factors, and protectio...

    COVID-19 vaccination, risk-compensatory behaviours, and contacts in the UK

    The physiological effects of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) are well documented, yet the behavioural effects not well known. Risk compensation suggests that gains in personal safety, as a result of ...

    Protection against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.4/5 variant following booster vaccination or breakthrough infection in the UK

    Following primary SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, whether boosters or breakthrough infections provide greater protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection is incompletely understood. Here we investigated SARS-CoV-2 antibod...

    SARS-CoV-2 antibody trajectories after a single COVID-19 vaccination with and without prior infection

    Given high SARS-CoV-2 incidence, coupled with slow and inequitable vaccine roll-out in many settings, there is a need for evidence to underpin optimum vaccine deployment, aiming to maximise global population i...

    Anti-spike antibody response to natural SARS-CoV-2 infection in the general population

    Understanding the trajectory, duration, and determinants of antibody responses after SARS-CoV-2 infection can inform subsequent protection and risk of reinfection, however large-scale representative studies ar...
