COVID-19 Vaccination and Communicable Disease Testing Services' Integration Within a Syringe Services Program: A Program Brief

Omeid Heidari et al.

Summary: People who inject drugs are more susceptible to COVID-19 and its complications, and face difficulties in accessing healthcare. It is crucial to prioritize this group in COVID-19 vaccination efforts. Co-locating syringe services, COVID-19 vaccination services, and other testing facilities helps provide necessary interventions without creating additional barriers.

Harm reduction and health services provided by syringe services programs in 2019 and subsequent impact of COVID-19 on services in 2020

Czarina N. Behrends et al.

Summary: This study describes the harm reduction and health services provided by U.S syringe services programs (SSPs) in 2019 and the changes in those services in 2020. The results show that most SSPs increased telehealth provision of mental health and primary care services in 2020. They also expanded harm reduction services and the provision of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). However, there was a decrease in on-site HIV and HCV testing.

How Vaccine Ambivalence Can Lead People Who Inject Drugs to Decline COVID-19 Vaccination and Ways This Can Be Addressed: Qualitative Study

Ian David Aronson et al.

Summary: This study aims to explore why people who inject drugs decline vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 and how barriers to vaccination can be addressed. Participants expressed concerns about the potential side effects of the vaccines, especially due to their weakened health from long-term substance use. Widespread medical mistrust and skepticism about the value of vaccination also contributed to ambivalence. However, the desire to protect family members emerged as a potential facilitator of vaccination.
