    Abstract Introduction: Current vaccines vary widely in both their efficacy against infection and disease, and the durability of the efficacy. Some vaccines provide practically lifelong protection with a single dose, while others provide only limited protection following annual boosters. What variables make vaccine-induced immune responses last? Can breakthroughs in these factors and technologies help us produce vaccines with better protection and fewer doses? The durability of vaccine-induced protection is now a hot area in vaccinology research, especially after COVID-19 vaccines lost their luster. It has fueled discussion on the eventual utility of existing vaccines to society and bolstered the anti-vaxxer camp. To sustain public trust in vaccines, lasting vaccines must be developed.
    Areas covered: This review summarizes licensed vaccines' protection. It analyses immunological principles and vaccine and vaccinee parameters that determine longevity of antibodies. The review concludes with challenges and the way forward to improve vaccine durability.
    Expert opinion: Despite enormous advances, we still lack essential markers and reliable correlates of lasting protection. Most research has focused on humoral immune responses, but we must also focus on innate, mucosal, and cellular responses - their assessment, correlates, determinants, and novel adjuvants. Suitable vaccine designs and platforms for durable immunity must be found.

    Abstract India is in the grip of a devastating second wave of Covid-19. Many experts believe new variants of concern (VOC) are behind this unprecedented surge. Some media reports are hinting toward higher risk of Covid infection following Covid vaccinations. 'Original antigenic sin,' in which a prior exposure to an antigen leads to an ineffective response to a related antigen, may offer one immunological explanation for this unusual association. There is an urgent need of undertaking a detailed study to prove/disprove this association.

    Abstract We describe clinical characteristics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infected children during the XBB.1.16 variant-driven surge in April, 2023 in India. A signi-ficantly higher positivity rate in young infants than in older children (37.4% vs 13.3%; P<0.001), and a predominance of respiratory symptoms were noticed. Notably, non-purulent con-junctivitis was found in 36.8% of SARS-CoV-2 positive infants. All recovered with symptomatic treatment as outpatients.

    Abstract The incidence of polio has decreased by more than 99.9% and currently, only two countries are endemic for wild poliovirus. However, increasing outbreaks of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus globally in the last few years, with the latest ones in high-income, exclusive inactivated polio virus vaccine (IPV)-using countries have brought out a new dimension to the end game of polio eradication. The inability of the current IPV to induce efficient mucosal immunity in the intestine is likely to be one of the key reasons behind the silent transmission of the polio virus in these countries. New challenges demand concerted global efforts with renewed vigor to cross the last mile. We need to aggressively cover up areas of under-vaccination and continue large-scale genomic surveillance. Further, the availability of a novel oral polio vaccine (nOPV2), and the likely availability of Sabin IPV and a more refined IPV with mucosal adjuvant in the near future is likely to go a long way in achieving this remarkable feat.

    Abstract The world is experiencing a pandemic of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) caused by type-2 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Vaccination is the only option to prevent future surges of the disease. Efforts for developing an effective vaccine are underway, but the timeline for the widespread availability of safe and effective vaccines is unknown. Some ecological reports have linked regional universal use of the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine with reduced morbidity and mortality of COVID-19. BCG protects from non-tuberculous diseases through 'non-specific' effects mediated by the modulation of innate immunity. This commentary provides details of the immunological mechanism of BCG-induced 'trained innate immunity' responsible for its nonspecific protective effects. A probable role of the BCG vaccine in the current pandemic is also examined.
