: Antiviral CD8+ T cells are critical in fighting SARS-CoV-2—both during infection and after vaccination. Research has revealed that these cells not only help clear the virus but also contribute to long-term immunity, including protection against variants. However, while CD8+ T cells play an essential protective role, an overactive response can potentially worsen severe COVID-19 symptoms. Ultimately, COVID-19 serves as valuable model for studying CD8+ T cell immunity in humans, which can in form development of vaccine strategies for other emerging viruses.
