PANDEMIC REPORT: Vaccines and nursing mothers; how care has changed; COVID-19 monitoring
Why are people not getting the vaccine?
Jennifer Trueblood, an associate professor of psychology at Vanderbilt University, worked with researchers out of the University of Chicago in a study to better understand people’s thought processes behind their decisions to get the COVID-19 vaccine or not.
Vaccines and nursing mothers
A new study at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis indicates that nursing mothers pass on antibodies through their breast milk, giving their children a “huge boost” against COVID-19.
How care has changed because of COVID-19
A pair of physician leaders at Cincinnati-based UC Health recently spoke with HealthLeaders to discuss how the health system has grappled with COVID-19, which includes adopting new modalities of care and improved communication.
COVID-19 monitoring
Pittsburgh-based TeleTracking Technologies Inc. has received a new $13 million contract from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to continue monitoring hospital capacity and other measures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Allergic reactions
Michigan Medicine will lead the first study on allergic reactions to the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.
