Air pollution reduces effectiveness of Covid vaccine: Study

A new study has found that higher levels of air pollution can lower Covid-19 vaccine responses by 5% to 10%. The study analysed data from 927 participants who received one or two doses of the primary Covid-19 vaccines administered in Spain. The decrease in antibodies was shown both for early IgM responses and late responses measured by IgG. The fact that previous infections lead to higher vaccine responses could explain why the effect of pollutants was only observed in people without a prior infection.
