COVID-19 vaccine equity: a health systems and policy perspective

Remco Van De Pas et al.

Summary: This article examines the inequalities in access to COVID-19 vaccines globally and provides an analysis of historical and contemporary policy trends in vaccine development and immunization programs. It recommends a strengthening of governance mechanisms and urgent financial investment in the international Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-A) partnership to improve vaccine equity.

Equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines makes a life-saving difference to all countries

Yang Ye et al.

Summary: Despite broad agreement on the negative consequences of vaccine inequity, the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines remains imbalanced. A recent study using mathematical modeling shows that equitable vaccine allocation strategies can effectively curb the spread of new strains, while vaccine inequity only provides limited and short-term benefits to high-income countries. Therefore, making immediate and generous vaccine donations to low- and middle-income countries is a practical pathway to protect everyone.

Estimation of Serial Interval and Reproduction Number to Quantify the Transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant in South Korea

Dasom Kim et al.

Summary: This study aimed to report the early estimates of the serial interval distribution and reproduction number for the omicron variant in South Korea. The findings showed that the omicron variant had a significantly shorter serial interval in child infectors compared to adult infectors. The mean reproduction number for the omicron variant during the first local outbreak was estimated to be 1.72. Adherence to strict public health measures, especially in children, is recommended to reduce the transmission risk of the highly transmissible omicron variant in the community.

Clinical severity of, and effectiveness of mRNA vaccines against, covid-19 from omicron, delta, and alpha SARS-CoV-2 variants in the United States: prospective observational study

Adam S. Lauring et al.

Summary: mRNA vaccines were highly effective in preventing covid-19 associated hospital admissions related to the alpha, delta, and omicron variants. Three vaccine doses were required for protection against omicron, while two doses provided protection against delta and alpha variants. Omicron variant showed lower disease severity compared to delta variant but still resulted in morbidity and mortality. Vaccinated patients had lower disease severity than unvaccinated patients for all the variants.

Variations in the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic across 5 continents: A cross-sectional, individual level analysis

Aditya K. Khetan et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has created financial impact on individuals worldwide, with high rates of job loss and inability to meet financial needs. Education level and wealth are associated with the degree of financial impact. Disparities exist in financial impact between high-income countries (HIC), upper-middle-income countries (UMIC), and lower-middle-income countries (LMIC), highlighting the importance of controlling the pandemic to reduce financial inequality and achieve sustainable development goals.

Indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on malaria intervention coverage, morbidity, and mortality in Africa: a geospatial modelling analysis

Daniel J. Weiss et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of disruptions to malaria control on malaria incidence and mortality in Africa. Findings show that reductions in access to effective antimalarial drug treatment and insecticide-treated net coverage could lead to increased malaria burden, potentially doubling malaria mortality in 2020.

Model-informed COVID-19 vaccine prioritization strategies by age and serostatus

Kate M. Bubar et al.

Summary: The study found that prioritizing the vaccine for adults aged 20 to 49 can minimize the number of cases, while prioritizing the vaccine for adults over 60 can minimize mortality and years of life lost. Redirecting vaccine doses to seronegative individuals through individual-level serological tests can improve the impact of each dose.

Challenges in ensuring global access to COVID-19 vaccines: production, affordability, allocation, and deployment

Olivier J. Wouters et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic may not end globally until vaccines that protect against severe disease and drive herd immunity are widely distributed. While vaccines have been authorized for human use in many countries, achieving global control of COVID-19 requires not only licensed vaccines but also mass production, affordable pricing, global allocation, and wide local deployment.

Cost-effectiveness of public health strategies for COVID-19 epidemic control in South Africa: a microsimulation modelling study

Krishna P. Reddy et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the clinical, economic outcomes, and cost-effectiveness of COVID-19 epidemic control strategies in KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa. It identified cost-effective combinations of interventions, such as household contact tracing, isolation, mass symptom screening, and quarantining household contacts who test negative, that substantially reduce COVID-19 mortality.

Clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination in South Africa

Krishna P. Reddy et al.

Summary: Cost, supply, and logistics are challenges for COVID-19 vaccine rollout in low and middle-income countries. Modeling a vaccination program in South Africa, the study demonstrates the importance of a rapid vaccine rollout in preventing infections and deaths, even with moderately efficacious vaccines. Implementing prompt vaccination procurement, distribution, and rollout could provide high value and decrease both deaths and healthcare costs across a wide range of assumptions.

Summary: The study aimed to estimate age-specific and sex-specific mortality risk among all SARS-CoV-2 infections in India and compare age trends in mortality with high-income countries. Results showed significant variations in estimated age-specific IFRs across different regions in India during the first wave, with Mumbai, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu having considerably lower IFRs compared to high-income countries.
