Vaccine-Associated Disease Enhancement (VADE): Considerations in Postvaccination COVID-19

Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic has entered a new phase with the roll-out of several vaccines worldwide at an accelerated phase. The occurrence of a more severe presentation of COVID-19 after vaccination may affect policymakers’ decision-making and vaccine uptake by the public. Vaccine-associate...
