Background Most individuals seeking asylum in Germany live collective housing and are thus exposed to a higher risk of contagion during the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective In this study, we aimed test feasibility efficacy culture-sensitive approach combining mobile app–based interventions face-to-face group intervention improve knowledge about promote vaccination readiness among collectively accommodated Arabic-speaking adolescents young adults. Methods We developed app that consisted short video clips explain biological basis COVID-19, demonstrate behavior prevent transmission, combat misconceptions myths vaccination. The explanations were provided YouTube-like interview setting by native physician. Elements gamification (quizzes rewards for solving items) also used. Consecutive videos quizzes presented over an period 6 weeks, was scheduled as add-on half participants week 6. manual designed provide actual behavioral planning based on health action process approach. Sociodemographic information, mental status, available vaccines assessed using questionnaire-based interviews at baseline after weeks. Interpreters assisted with all cases. Results Enrollment study proved be very challenging. addition, owing tightened contact restrictions, could not conducted planned. A total 88 from 8 institutions included study. 65 completed full-intake interview. (50/65, 77%) had already been vaccinated enrollment. They claimed comply preventive measures high extent (eg, “always wearing masks” indicated 43/65, 66% participants), but practicing considered effective against transmission frequently reported measure mouth rinsing). By contrast, factual limited. Preoccupation information materials steeply declined enrollment 12/61, 20% watched 3). Of 61 participants, only 18 (30%) reached follow-up interviews. Their did increase (P=.56). Conclusions results vaccine uptake seemed depend organizational determinants target group. current demonstrated low feasibility, which might have related various obstacles faced delivery. Therefore, case future pandemics, prevention specific should rely more structural aspects rather than sophisticated psychological interventions.

COVID-19 has caused millions of deaths globally, with vulnerable populations such as people experiencing homelessness (PEH) at higher risk. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to identify the prevalence key factors contributing vaccine acceptance experienced by PEH.The protocol this study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023391659). We included studies that reported relevant information about or hesitant/refusal among PEH. Eight databases were systematically searched January 2023. Meta-analysis conducted for acceptance, uptake, associated acceptance. Attitudes toward vaccines combined into bar charts.A total 29 papers 19 meta-analysis. The pooled PEH 66% (95%CI: 58%-73%). Our meta-regression showed significantly increased over time. Moreover, subgroup more likely accept after June 2021 (78%, 95%CI: 65%-86%) compared earlier period (56%, 54%-59%). Subgroup also revealed women participants without underlying medical condition (chronic diseases) less vaccine, men those conditions, respectively.The emphasizes need targeted public health interventions aimed increasing PEH, especially early stage pandemic, females, being Black (in Canada USA), young people. These should address common concerns safety, adverse effects, effectiveness, distrust care systems. In addition offering vaccinations different areas convenient them, education programs could be established increase

Data on vaccine uptake its main determinants are lacking for this underserved population. To construct test conceptual framework model structural among homeless populations, identify population living in two metropolitan areas France. We implemented multicenter cross-sectional survey from 15/11/2021 22/12/2021 adults city Marseille greater Paris area. Persons sheltered migrant worker hostels or emergency shelters, members COVID HOMELESS cohort study Marseille, Travelers traditional housing were all eligible. A standardized face-to-face questionnaire was administered participants where they lived various languages by trained interviewers. used equation modeling analyze uptake, latter defined as receiving at least one dose. The participation rate 64%, accounting 3811 participants. There three factors associated with uptake: i) opportunity, which included having personal general practitioner (β=0.05, p < 0.05), cover somebody accompany participant appointments (β=-0.04, 0.05); ii) motivation, attitudes towards vaccination (β=0.55, press- poster-based information (β=0.03, history iii) type (β=0.13, 0.05) stability (β=0.04, 0.05).

There is limited information about sociodemographic disparities in COVID-19 vaccine uptake among non-elderly adults with an increased risk of severe COVID-19. We investigated the individuals aged 18-64 years (non-elderly group) Stockholm County, Sweden.We used population-based health and registries high coverage to perform a cohort study one four doses up until 21 November 2022. The group was compared non-risk groups ≥65 (elderly).The ≥3 55%, 64% 87% (n = 1,005,182), 308,904) elderly 422,604), respectively. Among conditions, Down syndrome showed strongest positive association receiving three (adjusted ratio [aRR] 1.62, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.54-1.71), whereas chronic liver disease negative (aRR 0.90, CI 0.88-0.92). Higher associated increasing age, being born Sweden, higher education, income living household where other had been vaccinated. Similar trends were observed for first, second, third fourth doses.These results call measures tackle vaccination programmes during beyond pandemic.
