Allergists and COVID-19 Vaccine Allergy Safety: A Pilot Study "Hub-and-Spoke" Model for Population-Wide Allergy Service

CONCLUSION: The Hub-and-Spoke model has proven to be successful for the vaccination campaign. This study has illustrated the crucial role of allergists in countering vaccine hesitancy. Results from the study showed considerable differences in outcomes between allergist-led and non-allergist clinics. Precise reasons for these differences warrant further examination. We are hopeful the Hub-and Spoke model can be similarly adapted for other allergist-integrative services in the future.PMID:35605815 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2022.05.011
