People experiencing homelessness (PEH) have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19, yet their vaccination coverage is lower than is that of the general population. We implemented a COVID-19 vaccination program that used evidence-based and culturally tailored approaches to promote vaccine uptake and equity for PEH in Los Angeles County, California. From February 2021 through February 2022, 33 977 doses of vaccine were administered at 2658 clinics, and 9275 PEH were fully vaccinated. This program may serve as a model for future service delivery in vulnerable populations. (. 2023;113(2):170-174. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.307147).

Background: Following SARS-CoV-2 infection, ~10-35% of COVID-19 patients experience long COVID (LC), in which debilitating symptoms persist for at least three months. Elucidating biologic underpinnings of LC could identify therapeutic opportunities.
Methods: We utilized machine learning methods on biologic analytes provided over 12-months after hospital discharge from >500 COVID-19 patients in the IMPACC cohort to identify a multi-omics "recovery factor", trained on patient-reported physical function survey scores.

Many religious Jews resisted COVID-19 measures intended to reduce mortality and morbidity. This study examined Israeli religious Jews' trust levels in healthcare and religious institutions and adherence to government COVID-19 guidelines, via an online survey of 459 Israeli religious, primarily ultra-Orthodox (Haredi), Jews. Bivariate analyses found that most respondents trusted rabbis and charitable/social services regarding COVID-19 guidelines, while under half trusted the four healthcare-related entities examined.

As family communication is significantly related to individuals' health decision-making, it is crucial to tap into the power of this relationship for public health initiatives. The COVID-19 pandemic provided a ripe context in which to explore whether vaccination messaging could be tailored in such a way as to target specific family communication climates to encourage vaccine promotion among family members. Specifically, our study ( = 1,276) designed pro-vaccination messaging tailored based on two types of family communication styles.
