    EthicsIRB: Ethical approval was obtained from the Johns Hopkins University Institutional Review Board.
    Sex as a biological variablenot detected.
    Randomizationnot detected.

    Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).


    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    Limitations include defining SARS-CoV-2 infection as positive PCR, potentially misclassifying HWs with unconfirmed prior infection. Further study is warranted to determine whether this increased post-vaccination antibody durability in previously infected individuals is attributable to number of exposures, interval between exposures, or a complex interplay between natural and vaccine-derived immunity. Given the prominent role of serum spike antibodies and virus neutralization ability as correlates of protection, and waning antibody levels in HWs, urgent studies are needed to determine how serological testing can inform optimal vaccine timing and the need for booster doses.

    Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.


    Results from Barzooka: We did not find any issues relating to the usage of bar graphs.


    Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
