Can financial incentives and other nudges increase COVID-19 vaccinations among the vaccine hesitant? A randomized trial
Vaccine. 2022 Aug 30:S0264-410X(22)01050-7. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.08.060. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDespite rapid initial uptake, COVID-19 vaccinations in the United States stalled within a few months of widespread rollout in 2021. In response, many state and local governments, employers and health systems used public health messaging, financial incentives and creative scheduling tools to increase vaccine uptake. Although these approaches drew on evidence from influenza and other vaccination efforts, they were largely untested in the context of SARS-CoV-2. In mid-2021, months after vaccines were widely available,...

Seasonal influenza vaccination is associated with reduced risk of death among Medicare beneficiaries < sup > ☆ < /sup >
Vaccine. 2021 Nov 23:S0264-410X(21)01461-4. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.11.016. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Influenza causes substantial mortality, especially among older persons. Influenza vaccines are rarely more than 50% effective and rarely reach more than half of the US Medicare population, which is primarily an aged population. We wished to estimate the association between vaccination and mortality reduction.METHOD: We used the US Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) DataLink Project to determine vaccination status and timing during the 2017-2018 influenza season for more than 26 million Medi...

Vaccine exposure during pregnancy among privately and publicly insured women in the United States, 2016-2018
CONCLUSION: Maternal vaccination with ACIP-recommended vaccines was suboptimal among privately and Medicaid-insured patients, with lower vaccination coverage among Medicaid-insured pregnancies than their privately insured counterparts. Inadvertent exposure to contraindicated vaccines during pregnancy was rare. This study evaluated only vaccinations reimbursed among insured populations and may have limited generalizability to uninsured populations.PMID:34507857 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.08.091

Federal Aid Creates Central ‐Planning Power
This study argues that Congress should repeal all federal aid-to-state programs for many reasons, including that aid comes with costly strings attached that destroy local democracy.Richard Epstein and Mario Loyolanoted about aid programs: “When Americans vote in state and local elections, they think they are voting on state and local policies. But often they are just deciding which local officials get to implement the dictates of distant and insulated federal bureaucrats, whom even Congress can’t control.”I came across a table (p. 82) in New Jersey ’s budget that lists the $15 billion the state received in 2020 fro...
