Article Abstract
The experience of discrimination can have significant health implications, especially during a global pandemic. This study examines how lifetime discrimination, educational attainment (measured in years of education), and family support individually and interactively predict COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Low educational attainment may amplify the impact of discrimination due to increased vulnerability to misinformation. Conversely, family support can buffer the negative effects of discrimination on health behaviors by mitigating how stressors adversely influence health decisions. We utilized national data from the Midlife in the United States ( = 2004; aged 25-74). The results showed that although lifetime discrimination did not predict vaccine uptake, interaction analyses revealed that lifetime discrimination, in combination with higher educational attainment predicted lower vaccine uptake. In addition, family support moderated the relationship between lifetime discrimination and vaccine uptake, buffering its negative impact. These findings highlight the complex interplay of factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination decisions.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a leading cause of six cancers. Despite effective vaccines, HPV vaccination rates remain suboptimal, standing at 26% of females and 9% of males, nationally in 2018. This study assessed factors associated with HPV vaccination uptake among patients at Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) STI Specialty Clinics.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes multiple diseases in both sexes. This study evaluates the cost-effectiveness and epidemiological impact - defined as reductions in HPV-related disease cases - of a gender-neutral vaccination (GNV) strategy in China's economically developed metropolises: Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. A discrete-time Markov model simulated no vaccination, female-only vaccination (FOV), and GNV strategies among 12-year-olds.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent respiratory condition associated with increased morbidity and mortality, particularly during respiratory infections such as influenza. The interaction between COPD and influenza is multifaceted, involving compromised immune responses, chronic inflammation, and impaired lung function. Influenza infection can exacerbate COPD, leading to acute exacerbations, hospitalizations, and higher mortality.
