Purpose The goal of this study is to analyze the relationship between public governance and COVID-19 vaccinations during early 2021 assess preparedness countries timely policy responses cope with pandemic crises. Design/methodology/approach This global elaborates descriptive statistics, correlations, regression analyses Independent Samples T -Test on 112 countries, comparing those high/low level governance, determine whether statistical evidence supports hypothesis that good can improve administration vaccines. Findings Bivariate correlation reveals doses vaccines administered × 100 inhabitants have a high positive association General Index Governance ( r = 0.58, p -value <0.01). result confirmed by partial (controlling density population per km 2 ): 0.584, <0.001. coefficient in models also indicates an increase improves expected <0.001). Research limitations/implications Although has provided interesting results are, course, tentative, it several limitations. First, limitation lack data countries. Second, not all possible confounding factors affect vaccination against are investigated, such as country-specific health investments expenditures, these aspects should be examined future development research. A third limit related measurement through World Indicators, which based only perceptions biased different socio-economic factors. Practical implications identification determining may help design best practices for improving resilience face Social improvement foster rapid rollout threats negative effects their impact.

AIMS Public Health, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 10(1), P. 145 - 168

Published: Jan. 1, 2023

<abstract> <p>Scholars and experts argue that future pandemics and/or epidemics are inevitable events, the problem is not whether they will occur, but when a new health emergency emerge. In this uncertain scenario, one of most important questions an accurate prevention, preparedness prediction for next pandemic. The main goal study twofold: first, clarification sources factors may trigger pandemic threats; second, examination models on-going pandemics, showing pros cons. Results, based on in-depth systematic review, show vital role environmental in spread Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), many limitations epidemiologic because complex interactions between viral agent SARS-CoV-2, environment society have generated variants sub-variants with rapid transmission. insights here are, whenever possible, to clarify these aspects associated public order provide lessons learned policy reduce risks emergence diffusion having negative societal impact.</p> </abstract>

Abstract The goal of the study here is to analyze and assess whether strict containment policies cope with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic crisis are effective interventions reduce high numbers infections deaths. A homogenous sample 31 countries categorized in two sets: or low strictness public policy COVID-19 crisis. findings suggest that a intensity have average confirmed cases fatality rates related lower than (confirmed 24.69% vs. 26.06% 74.33% 76.38%, respectively, containment). What this adds levels restriction may not be useful measures control containing spread negative impact pandemics similar additionally generates substantial social economic costs. These can explained manifold socioeconomic environmental factors support transmission dynamics circulation pandemic. Hence, (and also share administering new vaccines) seem effectiveness stop driven by mutant viral agents. results design health for prevention preparedness future should underpinned good governance adoption technology, rather generalized polices having ambiguous effects society.
