Multiple cohort HPV vaccination in Zimbabwe: 2018-2019 program feasibility, awareness, and acceptability among health, education, and community stakeholders
CONCLUSIONS: Findings demonstrate the presence of highly knowledgeable staff at health facilities and schools, strong community acceptance, and a school-based HPV program considered feasible to implement in Zimbabwe. However, misunderstandings regarding target eligibility and rumors persist, which can impact vaccine uptake and coverage. Continued social mobilization efforts to maintain community demand and training on eligibility were recommended. Integration, partnerships, and resource mobilization are also needed to ensure program sustainability.PMID:34144852 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.05.074

Fine needle aspiration in COVID-19 vaccine-associated lymphadenopathy
CONCLUSIONS: Evidence of newly enlarged lymph nodes after recent COVID-19 vaccination should be considered reactive in the first instance, occurring owing to stimulation of the immune system. A clinical follow-up according to the patient’s risk profile without further diagnostic measures is justified. In the case of preexisting unilateral cancer, vaccination should be given contralaterally whenever possible. Persistently enlarged lymph nodes should be re-evaluated (2 to) 6 weeks after the second dose, with additional diagnostic tests tailored to the clinical context. Fine needle aspiration is a well established, ...

The effect of medical innovation on the cost-effectiveness of Covid 19-related policies in the United States using a SIR model
CONCLUSIONS: HTCI was the most cost effective and was well justified under any standard cost effectiveness threshold. The cost per QALY gained for vaccine development, either alone or in concert with other approaches, is well within the standard for cost effectiveness. NMIs reduced deaths and saved QALYs, but the cost per QALY gained is well outside the usual accepted limits.PMID:37072753 | DOI:10.1186/s12913-023-09282-1

AbstractCancer patients have an increased risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes and were recommended to be vaccinated, wear a mask, practice social distancing, and increase hand hygiene. We used the Health Belief Model (HBM) to identify constructs that were associated with the likelihood of adhering to and advocating for CDC COVID-19 prevention recommendations. We surveyed adult cancer patients who had an onsite appointment at the Penn State Cancer Institute or at the Hematology and Oncology Associates of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Survey measures included adherence to and informing others of COVID-19 recommendations as well as...
