Willem L, Abrams S, Franco N, Coletti P, Libin P, Wambua J, et al.
BMC Public Health . 2024 Apr; 24(1):1171. PMID: 38671366
Background: When formulating and evaluating COVID-19 vaccination strategies, an emphasis has been placed on preventing severe disease that overburdens healthcare systems and leads to mortality. However, more conventional outcomes such...
