CBC—The FDA recently authorized a fourth dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for all individuals over aged 50, and for those 12 and older with immunodeficiencies. Melanie Ott, director of the Gladstone Institute of Virology, explains that whereas a fourth shot may not be urgently necessary for individuals who are young and healthy, she does encourage those eligible to ensure that they get their third shot (first booster).

STAT News—Alexander Marson, director of the Gladstone-UCSF Institute of Genomic Immunology, describes new research from his group showing that the immune response in a mouse model of atopic dermatitis is altered by obesity. This difference rendered first-line therapies ineffective in mice, indicating that treatments for inflammatory disorders may need to be tailored to work in individual patients, depending on their metabolic state.
