Optimal site of care for administration of extended half-life respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) antibodies to infants in the United States (US)
CONCLUSION: FOV within 5 days after birth hospitalization discharge for Medicaid infants is substantially lower than that of commercially insured infants. Approximately 1 in 4 Medicaid infants and 1 in 8 infants with commercial insurance did not have an outpatient visit within 5 days of birth hospitalization discharge. For US infants born during the RSV season, administration of extended half-life RSV antibodies in the newborn nursery prior to discharge would ensure optimal uptake and minimize access disparities.PMID:37586957 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.06.089

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 mid-2021, months after vaccines were widely available,...
