Susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 Infection Among Children and Adolescents Compared With Adults A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Russell M. Viner et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that children and adolescents have a 44% lower odds of secondary infection with SARS-CoV-2 compared to adults, with insufficient data to determine if children transmit the virus less than adults. Preliminary evidence suggests that children have a lower susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with adults, but their role in virus transmission remains unclear.

Psychological characteristics associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and resistance in Ireland and the United Kingdom

Jamie Murphy et al.

Summary: Identifying and understanding COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy within distinct populations may aid future public health messaging. Using nationally representative data from the general adult populations of Ireland and the UK, the study found differences in vaccine hesitancy/resistance between the two countries but similarities in psychological constructs among resistant respondents. Vaccine-resistant individuals in both populations were less likely to obtain information from traditional and authoritative sources and had similar levels of mistrust in these sources compared to vaccine-accepting individuals.

Factors such as being male, educated, and having received the influenza vaccine in the past year were associated with higher intention to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Perceived benefits of the vaccine, severity of COVID-19 infection, cues to action, subjective norms, and self-efficacy were also important predictors of vaccination intention.

Vaccine Breakthrough Infections with SARS-CoV-2 Variants

Ezgi Hacisuleyman et al.

Summary: Despite evidence of vaccine efficacy, two fully vaccinated individuals developed mild symptoms of Covid-19 and were infected with variants of SARS-CoV-2. Sequencing of the virus isolates revealed novel mutations, highlighting the potential risk of illness post-vaccination and subsequent infection with variant virus. Efforts to prevent, diagnose, and characterize variants in vaccinated individuals are crucial.

Acceptance and attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccines: A cross-sectional study from Jordan

Tamam El-Elimat et al.

Summary: The public acceptability of COVID-19 vaccines is relatively low in Jordan, with certain demographics like males, those who have taken the seasonal influenza vaccine, those who believe vaccines are generally safe, and those willing to pay for the vaccines being more likely to accept them. Conversely, those over 35, employed individuals, those who believe in COVID-19 conspiracies, and those who do not trust any information source on COVID-19 vaccines are less likely to accept them. Health authorities in Jordan should implement systematic interventions to address vaccine hesitancy and improve acceptance rates.

Would Parents Get Their Children Vaccinated Against SARS-CoV-2? Rate and Predictors of Vaccine Hesitancy According to a Survey over 5000 Families from Bologna, Italy

Marco Montalti et al.

Summary: In the study investigating COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among parents/guardians in Bologna, it was found that a majority were inclined to vaccinate, while hesitancy was higher among female parents/guardians of younger children, with lower education levels, relying on web-based information, and disliking mandatory vaccination policies. These data could help in designing targeted strategies to improve vaccine campaign adherence, especially focusing on web-based information.

Factors Associated with COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy

Patricia Soares et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Portugal and found that factors such as being younger, loss of income, intention to flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine refusal, confidence in health service response, perception of government measures, and inconsistent information were linked to delay or refusal of COVID-19 vaccines. It is crucial to build confidence in the COVID-19 vaccine as its perceived safety and efficacy were strongly associated with intention to take the vaccine.

Globally altered sleep patterns and physical activity levels by confinement in 5056 individuals: ECLB COVID-19 international online survey

Khaled Trabelsi et al.

Summary: Symptoms of psychological distress and disorder have been widely reported in people under quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic, along with severe disruption of daily activity and sleep patterns. This study found that COVID-19 home confinement led to impaired sleep quality, with highly active individuals experiencing better sleep quality. Time spent engaged in physical activity and the metabolic equivalent of task in each category decreased significantly during home confinement, while the number of hours of daily sitting increased. Therefore, to maintain health during home confinement, promoting physical activity and providing education and support for sleep hygiene are strongly recommended.
