Heterologous prime-boost vaccination[edit]

need plain english definition from a reliable source of: "Heterologous prime-boost vaccination", "Homologous prime-boost vaccination", "Heterologous prime-boost immunization", "Homologous prime-boost immunization",

For: Heterologous vaccine = Heterologous prime-boost vaccination

I could not find any.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heterologous_vaccine&oldid=1043907228

User:0mtwb9gd5wx a plan EN definition would be "mix and macth" as used by the NIH and CDC.[1] and [2] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:47, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

@Doc James: Thanks, okay, define "vaccine product" and "primary series" for grade 11 reading level. demographics... 0mtwb9gd5wx (talk) 02:32, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Another vitamin GA nomination[edit]

Nine completed (most recently Riboflavin), four to go. I decided to tackle Vitamin A next. Probably will leave Vitamin D for last. David notMD (talk) 21:57, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

User:David notMD Excellent work. Am mostly working on MDWiki currently. Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:49, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Book: preservation[edit]

Hello Doc James :) Winter greetings to you. I notice that the only 15 books preserved under Wikipedia:Books/archive, like Cancer care, are mainly medical. Did you request this specially? Were they preserved from deletion, or deleted + then undeleted?

Many of the other deleted books have 5 or 10k of content and dozens of edits, and should clearly be undeleted; the Q is where ... I'd prefer to see them restored in place, in the context of the project and the other undeleted books. Has the process been talked through in detail somewhere? – SJ + 01:21, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

User:Sj the book pages in question were the intro pages to the offline medical apps we used to make from Wikipedia. Due to requests from certain members of the community we have moved our offline and translation efforts to be based off of MDWiki.

We are still working on getting coordination of the new intro pages meshed with our versions for the offline apps in other languages. But progress is coming along. In other words no issues with these pages becoming historical here.

P.S. if someone could help us get Wikidata working within MDWiki that would be appreciated. Otherwise I am sure we can eventually figure out a work around.

Interesting, thanks. For the wikidata integration, does Wikidata:Federation_input help? – SJ + 20:58, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
