The Moderna Covid-19 vaccine, which has shown 94 per cent efficacy, helps human system produce antibodies that last at least three months, a new study has revealed. According to the researchers at the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases, which co-developed the drug, the antibodies, which stop coronavirus, "declined slightly over time, as expected, but they remained elevated in all participants 3 months after the booster vaccination." NIAID director Anthony Fauci and other experts have said it's very likely that the immune system will remember the virus if re-exposed later on, and then produce new antibodies.

A US judge on Tuesday struck down two rules proposed by the Trump administration to narrow eligibility for H-1B visa aspirants and raise their salaries in an effort to make it tougher for companies, mostly in IT, to use this short-term employment programme to hire foreigner workers instead of local Americans. The district judge ruled that the changes were introduced in a hurry and did not abide by the usual transparency obligations - provide notice and sufficient time for public comments. The United States issues 85,000 new H-1B visa every year. More than 70% of them go to Indian professionals hired by American companies such as Facebook, Google and Microsoft and Indian IT services companies.
