Many studies have documented exposure to psychosocial factors in healthcare workers (HCWs) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Few done it prospectively with open-ended questions. To describe evolution of stress reported by HCWs A prospective cohort 4964 (physicians, nurses, aides and personal support workers), from four Canadian provinces, received online questionnaires between spring 2020 2022. Responses an question on stressful events were coded into 25 stressors. Multilevel logistic regressions assessed trends stressors, effect gender, occupation age. In 2020, 91% participants at least one stressor compared 51% Overall, eight stressors 1000 times or more among 16 786 questionnaires. Five decreased over time: fear COVID-19, problems protective equipment, changing guidelines, management difficult cases changes work routine. Conversely, increasing trend was noted for volume work, poor behaviour public colleagues. Difficulties managing patients' deaths remained steady. Changes time similar professional role age group, although reporting some varied within subgroups. Reporting most pandemic, except arising demands staff patients as pandemic progressed. Such workplace need be addressed prevention programmes ensure appropriate response needs HCWs.

Obesity is a recognized factor influencing immune function and infectious disease outcomes. Characterization of the influence obesity on SARS-CoV-2 humoral vaccine immunogenicity required to properly tailor type (mRNA, viral-vector, protein subunit vaccines) dosing schedule. Data from prospective cohort study collected over 34 months was used evaluate slope antibody production decay neutralizing capacity following vaccination in individuals with without at baseline. Most participants were female (65.4%), white (92.4%), received mRNA vaccines. 210 obese 697 non-obese. Sex infection-acquired immunity identified as effect modifiers for relationship between COVID-19 immunogenicity. No consistent peak titres, titre retention, isotype (IgG, IgM, IgA), or neutralization when controlling other key variables. It may not be necessary consider this variable developing strategies.
