Geospatial disparities in post-pandemic Sars-CoV-2 vaccination
While Chile achieved one of the world’s highest and most equitable SARS-CoV-2 vaccination coverages during the pandemic, less is known about the post-pandemic stage. This study examines within-country geospatial disparities in COVID-19 vaccination uptake and their socio-demographic determinants in two urban areas of Chile. A population-based survey conducted in May 2024 collected individual data on vaccination status and socio-demographic charact…
Population-based seroprevalence survey
Overall, vaccine acceptance is high. However, the acceptance of the last two doses was below expectations and showed heterogeneous geographical distribution. Adulthood is the most important predictor of vaccine uptake. Participants underestimated their level of risk. Risk communication must be improved, especially for risk groups, to help them perceive themselves as beneficiaries of vaccination. Efforts should be made to disseminate information o…
Overcoming Health Inequities
Background: In unequal economies, the spread of the first waves of the COVID-19 was usually associated with low socioeconomic status of individuals and their families. Chile exemplified this. By mid-2020, Chile had one of the highest SARS-CoV-2 infection rates in the world predominantly in poorer areas. A year later, the country launched a universal vaccination campaign based on the national strategy of immunization established in 1975. By 2022, …
Algorithm-Directed Care by Nonphysician Practitioners in a Pediatric Population
The ability of quickly trained nonphysician practitioners to care for pediatric patients with upper respiratory tract infections (URIs) was evaluated in 3802 patients. These nonphysician practitioners (Army Pamosists) used an explicit treatment protocol and computerized audit of protocol adherence. Pamosists omitted protocol-suggested plans in 3.7 per cent of cases and ordered unnecessary treatment plans in 1.7 per cent of cases. They did not obt…
