But painstaking work by Australian researchers has revealed that people infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus have immune memory to protect against reinfection for at least eight months. These cells live in the body for a long time, and provide a blueprint for the immune system to fight off any future infections from the same pathogens.

Cancer is a complex heterogenous multistep disease characterised by uncontrolled cell proliferation combined with a dysregulated immune response. A healthy immune system is naturally primed to eliminate malignant and abnormal cells through a synchronised and dynamic interplay between adaptive and innate immunity.

Since the first human administration of the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine in 1921, no one has been able to successfully follow the vaccine’s path to become the next approved vaccine to tackle tuberculosis (TB). However, as the TB-related death toll remains high, the global need for another vaccine is steadily rising.
