The social and behavioural determinants of COVID-19 vaccination have been described previously. However, little is known about how vaccinated people use and rate their health system. We used surveys conducted in 14 countries to study the health
Vaccination will likely be a key component of strategies to curtail or prevent future sarbecovirus pandemics and to reduce the prevalence of infection and disease by future SARS-CoV-2 variants. A "pan-sarbecovirus" vaccine, that provides maximum
CONCLUSIONS: In England, the rate of decline in adult smoking prevalence stagnated during the COVID-19 pandemic through to 2022. At the start of the pandemic, a potential reduction in smoking prevalence among middle-aged adults and increases in
CONCLUSIONS: The fifth COVID-19 vaccine dose raised antibody response to 93.0% of the study population. Additional booster doses, as well as bivalent vaccines, led to higher levels of antibody concentration in SOT recipients. We found a lower
CONCLUSIONS: Immune response that arises from BNT162b2 vaccine after natural infection and infection after 2 doses of BNT162b2 was higher than infection after partially-vaccinated children.
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to remain at the forefront of the infectious disease burden globally, albeit with some aberrations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among many factors, the emergence of drug resistance or antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has
CONCLUSION: This study identified key determinants of FPE behavior. A review of context specific FPE guidance for ED by infection prevention and control professionals would help to promote practicable, sustainable compliance.
Our results highlight the plasticity of SARS-CoV-2 Spike to generate highly fusogenic and cytopathic strains with the causative mutations being uncharacterized in previous variants. We describe mechanisms regulating the formation of syncytia and the
Objectives. To compare health insurance coverage and access to care by sex and sexual minority status during the COVID-19 pandemic and assess whether lack of insurance hindered access to care by sexual minority status. Methods. Using Behavioral Risk
