Northwestern Medicine scientists have shown for the first time that coronavirus vaccines and prior coronavirus infections can provide broad immunity against other, similar coronaviruses. The findings build a rationale for universal coronavirus vaccines that could prove useful in the face of future epidemics.
The growing number of patients suffering from long-term complications of COVID-19 has spurred the creation of Northwestern Medicine’s Comprehensive COVID-19 Center, which provides coordinated, multidisciplinary care.

Confluence of school starting, mixed messages on vaccine efficacy, more Can parents trust schools to keep their children safe from delta spread in the classroom? Is masking back up enough to keep vaccinated folks from spreading COVID-19 to peers in restaurants, at sports games or in the office? Northwestern University experts provide guidance on how vaccinated … Continued
A new study shows that two months after the second Pfizer/Moderna vaccination, antibody response decreases 20% in adults with prior cases of COVID-19. The study also tests how well current vaccines resist emerging variants. The Northwestern University study underscores the importance of receiving a second dose of vaccine, not only because it is commonly known … Continued
