Vaccinated individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection develop virus-specific T cells inside their noses

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, investigators in Singapore showed that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) breakthrough infection elicited broadly specific virus-selective nasal resident CD8 and CD4 T cells.
