Addressing racial/ethnic inequities in vaccine hesitancy and uptake: lessons learned from the California alliance against COVID-19

Mona AuYoung et al.

Summary: Lack of trust in biomedical research, government, and health care systems, especially among racial/ethnic minorities and under-resourced communities, has long been a social injustice issue. The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized existing health and socioeconomic inequities and increased the need for access to culturally and linguistically appropriate information about COVID-19 to promote vaccine uptake. California's statewide alliance STOP COVID-19 CA leverages community partnerships to address racial/ethnic inequities in vaccine hesitancy and uptake, using various strategies, communication methods, languages, and trusted messengers. The importance of including trusted community partners and lessons learned are highlighted for future public health emergencies.

COVID-19 in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies: Outcomes and Options for Treatments

Jose Carlos Martinez et al.

Summary: Patients with hematologic malignancies are at higher risk of severe COVID-19 and have worse outcomes compared to patients with solid tumors and the general population. Risk factors include both shared factors with the general population and cancer-specific factors. Emerging evidence suggests that specific treatments such as convalescent plasma and booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines may benefit this patient population.

The antibody response of haematological malignancies to COVID-19 infection and vaccination

Nicole A. Seebacher

Summary: Cancer patients, especially those with haematological malignancies, have reduced survival and lower seroconversion rates after COVID-19 infection or vaccination. Developing guidelines for vaccination schedules and protective measures is urgently needed for oncology patients, particularly those in an immunocompromised state.

mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine boosters induce neutralizing immunity against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

Wilfredo F. Garcia-Beltran et al.

Summary: Recent surveillance has identified the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, which carries up to 36 mutations in the spike protein and has the potential to evade vaccine-induced immunity. This study found that individuals vaccinated with mRNA vaccines exhibited strong neutralization of the Omicron variant, while most vaccinees had weak neutralization. The study also revealed that the Omicron variant infects more efficiently than other tested variants.

Understanding national trends in COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Canada: results from five sequential cross-sectional representative surveys spanning April 2020-March 2021

Kim Lavoie et al.

Summary: This study examined vaccine hesitancy rates and their correlates among Canadian adults between April 2020 and March 2021. The results showed that women, individuals aged 50 and younger, non-white individuals, those with lower education levels, and individuals with lower household incomes were more likely to report vaccine hesitancy. Additionally, endorsing prevention behaviors and having high COVID-19 health concerns were associated with a reduced likelihood of vaccine hesitancy.

The Disproportionate Impact of COVID-19 on Racial and Ethnic Minorities in the United States

Don Bambino Geno Tai et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected minority groups like African American, Native American, and LatinX communities with higher death rates. These disparities may be caused by biomedical factors and social determinants of health. Minority groups are more likely to have chronic medical conditions and lower access to healthcare, leading to worse COVID-19 outcomes.

Determinants of access to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine: a preliminary approach

Brigitte Renata Bezerra de Oliveira et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the determinants of access to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine by different countries, finding that economic factors, impact of the pandemic, and other indicators influence vaccine distribution. Wealthier and more severely affected countries tend to have better access to vaccines. Global efforts are needed to promote equitable distribution of vaccines and protect populations in vulnerable countries.

Factors associated with early receipt of COVID-19 vaccination and adherence to second dose in the Veterans Affairs healthcare system

George N. Ioannou et al.

Summary: This study identified factors independently associated with early COVID-19 vaccination and adherence to two-dose regimens, including age, comorbidity burden, body mass index, race, ethnicity, residence, and geographical region. It also found that younger age, AI/AN race, female sex, rural location, geographical region, and prior positive test for SARS-CoV-2 were associated with a higher likelihood of missing the second dose.

Measuring the impact of COVID-19 vaccine misinformation on vaccination intent in the UK and USA

Sahil Loomba et al.

Summary: Recent online misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines has been found to decrease intent to vaccinate among adults in the UK and the USA, particularly among those who were initially willing to get vaccinated. Certain sociodemographic groups are more negatively impacted by misinformation, and scientifically-sounding misinformation has a stronger effect on reducing vaccination intent.

A Scoping Review to Find Out Worldwide COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy and Its Underlying Determinants

Md Rafiul Biswas et al.

Summary: The determinants of worldwide COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy are complex and context-specific, influenced by factors such as vaccine efficacy, side effects, and trust. Vaccination intentions are also impacted by demographic factors, with varying vaccine uptake rates in different countries. Strategies tailored to cultures and socio-psychological factors are needed to reduce vaccine hesitancy and aid informed decision-making.

COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy in Canada: Content Analysis of Tweets Using the Theoretical Domains Framework

Janessa Griffith et al.

Summary: The study identified reasons for COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Canada, including concerns about safety, suspicion regarding political or economic forces, lack of knowledge about the vaccine, antivaccine messages from authority figures, and lack of legal liability from vaccine companies.
