Exploring experiences with stressors and coping resources among Dutch socioeconomic groups during the COVID-19 pandemic, 2023.02.16,

Respondents with lower SES expressed more problems with COVID-19 measures and experienced more social impact in their neighborhood than those with higher SES. Where low-SES groups especially mentioned the effects of staying at home on family life, high-SES groups mentioned effects on work life. Psychological consequences seem to differ somewhat across SES groups. Recommendations include consistent government-imposed measures and government communication, support for home schooling children, and strengthening the social fabric of neighborhoods.

Health Emergency and Asylum Law in the European Union, 2023.02.17,
https://academic.oup.com/ijrl/advance-article/doi/10.1093/ijrl/eeac043/7044738?searchresult=1 .
The rapid spread of COVID-19 in Europe has led to the further deterioration of the crisis concerning the application of the provisions of EU asylum law in most Member States. Based on the findings of this twofold analysis, it is concluded that certain rights, such as the right to seek asylum, cannot be suspended – not even during a situation of health emergency – and that it is all the more urgent to redesign a CEAS that takes account of the challenges posed by future situations of health emergency.

Employing the policy capacity framework for health system strengthening, 2023.01.25,
https://academic.oup.com/policyandsociety/article/42/1/1/7004799 .
This themed issue explores the relationships between the policy capacity framework and health system strengthening, in a multidimensional and interdisciplinary way, in high-income and low–middle-income countries. Critical capacities can be incorporated into the policy capacity framework for the analysis of system strengthening—capacity to adapt, contexts of mixed and complex systems, dynamic view of policy capacity, and policy capacity as a relational power. Policy capacity is contextually interpreted (relative to the problem frame) and dynamic and adaptive (processual and relational), in relation to the properties of a health system, particularly with regard to the existing and developing mixed and complex systems.

Cardiovascular Profile of patients with COVID-19 infection admitted at a tertiary hospital, 2023.01.25,
https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/article/44/Supplement_1/ehac779.136/7000571?searchresult=1 .
Myocardial injury and significant cardiovascular risk factors increased mortality among critically-ill COVID-19 patients. Hence, aside from risk factor modification, emphasis on cardiovascular protection should also be considered during treatment for COVID-19.

The European Union’s response to the Covid-19 crisis and (the legitimacy of) the Union’s legal order, 2023.01.27,
https://academic.oup.com/yel/advance-article/doi/10.1093/yel/yeac011/7008320?searchresult=1 .
We show, on the one hand, that the Union’s ‘output’ legitimacy has been enhanced. The Union is not forever condemned to lack legitimacy because of its economic constitutional settlement. On the other hand, however, the move to executive and technocratic governance associated with the Union’s pandemic response is a step backwards in terms of ‘input’ and ‘throughput’ legitimacy, in terms of both policy substance and law enforcement. The lack of democratic or judicial oversight over Union Covid-19 (soft) law negatively affects the legitimacy of Union law.

A scoping review of digital health interventions for combating COVID-19 misinformation and disinformation, 2023.02.02,
https://academic.oup.com/jamia/advance-article/doi/10.1093/jamia/ocad005/7008334?searchresult=1 .
We provide a scoping review of Digital Health Interventions (DHIs) that mitigate COVID-19 misinformation and disinformation seeding and spread. We recommend community engagement and theory-guided engineering of equitable DHIs. It is important to consider the problem of misinformation and disinformation through a multilevel lens that illuminates personal, clinical, cultural, and social pathways to mitigate the negative consequences of misinformation and disinformation on human health and wellness.

Political legitimacy and vaccine hesitancy: Disability support workers in Australia, 2023.01.10,
https://academic.oup.com/policyandsociety/article/42/1/104/6982701 .
We analyze qualitative data generated from a survey with 368 disability support workers to identify drivers of COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy and why the implementation of this policy may have experienced challenges. We identify a range of themes within these data but ultimately argue that a major driver of vaccine hesitancy in this group is a mistrust of government and an erosion of employment terms and conditions. Drawing on the policy capacity literature, we argue that the “Achilles’ heel” for the Australian government in this case is the critical policy capacity of political legitimacy.

Increases in CLIA-Waived Testing Sites Since the Start of the COVID-19 Pandemic, 2023.01.13,
https://academic.oup.com/labmed/advance-article/doi/10.1093/labmed/lmac154/6987228 .
The number of testing sites receiving their first Certificate of Waiver (CoW) under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) increased significantly after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We compared the first-time CoWs in 2020–2021 to those in 2018–2019. The total number of first-time CoWs during 2020–2021 was more than twice what it was in 2018–2019, corresponding to population testing needs during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in assisted living facility, pharmacy, physician office, and school/student health service settings.

Immunogenicity, efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccines: an update of data published by 31 December 2021, 2022.07.02,
https://academic.oup.com/intimm/article/34/12/595/6627249 .
Newly emerging variants, especially the variants of concern, and waning humoral responses pose serious challenges to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. We summarized the humoral and cellular immunity, safety profiles and protection efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines with clinical data published by 21 May 2021. In this review, we summarize and update the published clinical data of COVID-19 vaccines and candidates up to 31 December 2021.

The far-right and anti-vaccine attitudes: lessons from Spain’s mass COVID-19 vaccine roll-out, 2023.01.19,
https://academic.oup.com/eurpub/advance-article/doi/10.1093/eurpub/ckac173/6992296?searchresult=1 .
We show that public attitudes towards vaccination are not immutable. Whereas a rapid and effective vaccine rollout can help to overcome the resistance of far-right voters to get vaccinated, they also seem to be susceptible to their party leader’s discourse on vaccines.
