>Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and/or adenovirus have been detected in several cases. The United Kingdom has recently observed an increase in adenovirus activity, which is co-circulating with SARS-CoV-2
Weren't most Brits immunized with an Adenovirus-based SARS COV-2 vaccine? Could this maybe cause issue with the immune responses to some Adenoviruses?
- ageitgey 5y agoIt changed over time. Almost everyone vaccinated who was 40 and under and boosters have been done with Pfizer/Moderna. The adenovirus vaccines were used mainly early on for higher age groups and at-risk groups getting initial doses. In any case, the virus in the Oxford vaccines couldn't replicate and was a chimp virus that people hadn't been exposed to previously, so they would obviously notice if that specific virus started circulating.
