Two of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire’s Covid-19 vaccination centres set to close at the end of the year
after delivering thousands of jabs
More than 60,000 Covid-19 vaccinations have been administered at the two sites since they opened their doors in May and June 2022. As the vaccination programme moves into its third year of vaccinations, the focus will now move to targeting key communities and areas with pop-up clinics. Adam Hayward, Deputy Director of Operations at Nottinghamshire Vaccination Programme, said: “This is the end of an era for our two last remaining large-scale sites.
“Now the vaccination programme is moving towards vaccinating people in areas of low uptake using our Medi-vans and pop-up locations. The vaccination programme is by no way ending and we still have plenty of vaccination sites across the city and county so please do come forward and grab a jab if you are eligible.”

Longitudinal transcriptional analysis of peripheral blood leukocytes in COVID-19 convalescent donors - Journal of Translational MedicineBackground SARS-CoV2 can induce a strong host immune response. Many studies have evaluated antibody response following SARS-CoV2 infections. This study investigated the immune response and T cell receptor diversity in people who had recovered from SARS-CoV2 infection (COVID-19). Methods Using the nCounter platform, we compared transcriptomic profiles of 162 COVID-19 convalescent donors (CCD) and 40 healthy donors (HD). 69 of the 162 CCDs had two or more time points sampled. Results After eliminating the effects of demographic factors, we found extensive differential gene expression up to 241 days into the convalescent period. The differentially expressed genes were involved in several pathways, including virus-host interaction, interleukin and JAK-STAT signaling, T-cell co-stimulation, and immune exhaustion. A subset of 21 CCD samples was found to be highly “perturbed,” characterized by overexpression of PLAU, IL1B, NFKB1, PLEK, LCP2, IRF3, MTOR, IL18BP, RACK1, TGFB1, and others. In addition, one of the clusters, P1 (n = 8) CCD samples, showed enhanced TCR diversity in 7 VJ pairs (TRAV9.1_TCRVA_014.1, TRBV6.8_TCRVB_016.1, TRAV7_TCRVA_008.1, TRGV9_ENST00000444775.1, TRAV18_TCRVA_026.1, TRGV4_ENST00000390345.1, TRAV11_TCRVA_017.1). Multiplexed cytokine analysis revealed anomalies in SCF, SCGF-b, and MCP-1 expression in this subset. Conclusions Persistent alterations in inflammatory pathways and T-cell activation/exhaustion markers for months after active infection may help shed light on the pathophysiology of a prolonged post-viral syndrome observed following recovery from COVID-19 infection. Future studies may inform the ability to identify druggable targets involving these pathways to mitigate the long-term effects of COVID-19 infection.
