Biden Administration Is Making the COVID-19 Antiviral Pill Paxlovid Easier to Get
(Washington D.C.) — President Joe Biden’s administration is taking steps to expand availability of the life-saving COVID-19 antiviral treatment Paxlovid, as it seeks to reassure doctors that there is ample supply for people at high risk of severe illness or death from the virus. Paxlovid, produced by Pfizer, was first approved in December. Supply of the regimen was initially very limited, but as COVID-19 cases across the country have fallen and manufacturing has increased it is now far more abundant. The White House is now moving to raise awareness of the pill and taking steps to make it easier to access. [time...

Digital Tool May Improve Cognitive Functioning Among Adults With MDD
Adults who continue to experience symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD) while taking antidepressants may benefit from playing a video game-based intervention called AKL-T03, according to astudy published this week in theAmerican Journal of Psychiatry. Adults with MDD who played AKL-T03 for six weeks showed improvements in sustained attention and cognitive functioning compared with those who played a different video game.“Society is facing a growing mental health crisis, with depression rates in the U.S. increasing about 20% during the pandemic.

Text message “nudges” that initially increased Covid vaccine uptake were not effective later in pandemic
By Matthew Warren Last year a paper made headlines with the finding that basic text message reminders can increase uptake of the Covid vaccine. In fact, we covered the research right here at Research Digest. As we wrote at the time, the results showed that simple techniques to “nudge” people into taking the vaccine could have a substantial impact if applied across the population. But according to a new study in Nature, these nudges have a pretty limited shelf-life. The team finds that timing really matters: while text message reminders increased uptake immediately after the vaccine became available, later in the...

The New $10 Billion COVID-19 Deal Leaves Uninsured People at Risk
When Senators announced on Monday that they reached a deal for $10 billion in additional funding for the coronavirus response, many public health experts were dismayed that the package will not include aid for vaccines abroad. But another area that is likely to get shorted is the program that has covered the costs of coronavirus tests, treatments and vaccines for uninsured Americans. That lack of funding could not only hurt the most vulnerable Americans, experts say, but also fuel future outbreaks of COVID-19. The program for uninsured people began winding down late last month. The Biden Administration repeatedly asked la...
