Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Ever since The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Coronavirus outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on 30 January 2020, and a pandemic on 11 March 2020, scientists from all over the world have been scrambling to create a vaccine.
During this period, vaccine development was expedited and scientists faced various challenges in creating a working vaccine.
The urgency to create a vaccine led to “compressed schedules” where trials for vaccines, which usually take years, were conducted over a period of months.
Since then, Several vaccines have been approved for mass vaccination drives against COVID-19 and have been distributed globally.
However, the community’s knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions towards these vaccinations are poorly understood.
We analyzed 1M articles that contained the mentions of various vaccines and here’s what we found.
✔✔ Conversations about Pfizer have received more engagement on Twitter as Pfizer has shown the highest efficacy rate of 95%.
✔✔ Moderna has an efficacy of 94.1% against covid infection and the engagement shows that articles that mention Moderna had lesser engagement than Pfizer but considerably more than other vaccines.
✔✔ AstraZeneca ranks third when it comes to Twitter engagement among popular vaccines.
✔✔ Russia’s Sputnik vaccine claims a 95% efficacy rate, even before beginning a Phase III trial. But conversations and engagement on Twitter have been minimal.
✔✔ Covaxin and Novavax have had some conversations and mentions on Twitter, unlike Janssen, a vaccine that has had the least engagement.

WHO urges greater COVID-19 vigilance in Africa as holidays nearSABC News
With the end of year approaching and many African families planning get-togethers, the World Health Organization (WHO) is urging countries to be on high alert for a possible surge in COVID-19 cases.
Three months after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan (China), the African response could be labelled as impressive. Many lessons were learnt by African countries from Ebola epidemic which hit West Africa (2014-2016). Industrial resiliency (mask production at scale), Technological innovations (PCR test local production, machine learning and robotics) and Genomic Prowess (Genome sequence of COVID-19 virus) ; all showed Africa is ready to be part of the global solution to COVID-19. Yet, only 3 clinical trials for vaccine and medicine against the virus were ongoing across the continent at the time of this presentation. The presentation also discusses some of the public health and industrial strategies to build even more resiliency in the continent beyond the pandemic.
In light of the global health crisis, Imperial College Healthcare Club to host the second webinar discussion around Africa’s healthcare system resilience to COVID-19. We are honored to be joined by Dr. Kaouthar Lbiati, who are both currently working on the continent’s response to the pandemic.The event will be a discussion, where the speakers will be presenting their work as well as their views and perspectives around the Healthcare crisis in Africa.
The webinar will focus on :
1. How the healthcare actors based in Africa have been crucial in responding to the pandemic.
3. How the long-term consequences of this crisis can bring major changes in Africa.
Kaouthar Lbiati (MD, MSc) will be emphasising on the wider scope of the healthcare policy & industry and explore the strategies on both that Africa as a continent could
establish to build resilience.

Tracking the uptake and trajectory of covid 19 vaccination coverage in 15 wes...MuhammedAfolabi1
Delighted to share our latest work on COVID-19 vaccination coverage and trajectory in the 15 West African countries that constitute the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Using publicly available, country-level COVID-19 vaccination data, we provided unique insights into the uptake trends of COVID-19 vaccines in the 15 West African countries. Based on the vaccination rates in the ECOWAS region 90 days after commencing COVID-19 vaccinations, we provided a projection of the trajectory and speed of vaccination needed to achieve a COVID-19 vaccination coverage rate of at least 60% of the total ECOWAS population, needed to achieve the population-level immunity to end the acute phase of the pandemic. After three months of the deployment of COVID-19 vaccines across the ECOWAS countries, only 0.27% of the sub-region’s total population had been fully vaccinated. If the ECOWAS countries follow this trajectory, the sub-region will have less than 1.6% of the total population fully vaccinated after 18 months of vaccine deployment. Our projection shows that to achieve a COVID-19 vaccination coverage of at least 60% of the total population in the ECOWAS sub-region after 9, 12 and 18 months of vaccine deployment; the speed of vaccination must be increased to 10, 7 and 4 times the current trajectory, respectively.
The BMJ issued a press release to underscore the significance of our findings, given that low COVID uptake promotes the emergence of new variants. With the recent emergence of the Omicron variant and how it is changing our lives globally, our study supports the findings that vaccine equity is not just for African countries alone, as COVID-19 will not be over until it's over everywhere

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Six in seven COVID-19 infections go undetected in Africa: WHO

Brazzaville,14October2021 – A newassessmentbythe WorldHealthOrganization(WHO) shows
that only14.2% – or one in seven –COVID-19 infectionsare beingdetectedinAfrica.To reverse that
trendand curb transmission,the WHORegional Office forAfricatodayannouncedanew initiativeto
enhance communityscreeningforCOVID-19ineightcountries.The programme aimstoreachmore
than 7 millionpeople withrapiddiagnostictests inthe nextyear.

population-basedstudies.Itfoundthatasof 10 October2021 the cumulative numberof COVID-19
infectionsisestimatedtobe 59 millioninAfrica,whichisseventimesmore thanthe over8 million
casesreported.
To date,COVID-19detectioninAfricahasfocusedonpeople reportingtohealthfacilitieswith
symptoms,inadditiontotestingarrivinganddepartinginternationaltravellers,leadingtolarge-scale
under-reportinggiventhe highpercentage of asymptomaticcasesonthe continent.
Since the start of the pandemicandas of 10 October,more than 70 millionCOVID-19testshave
beenreportedbyAfricancountries,whichisafractionof the continent’s1.3billionpeople.By
contrast,the UnitedStates,withabouta thirdof the population,hasreportedlyadministeredover
550 milliontests, while the UnitedKingdom,withlessthan10% of the populationof Africa,has
administeredover280 milliontests.
“With limitedtesting,we’re still flyingblindinfartoomanycommunitiesinAfrica.Mosttestsare
carriedout on people withsymptoms,butmuchof the transmissionisdrivenbyasymptomatic

The initiative will use a“ringstrategy”,whichwaspioneeredsuccessfullyinthe eradicationof
smallpox inthe latterhalf of the 20th centuryto vaccinate people whoare mostlikelytobe infected,
and duringthe recentEbolaoutbreaksinWestAfricaand inthe DemocraticRepublicof the Congo.
The ring approachwill target people livinginsideacircle of 100 metresradiusaroundeachnew

In addition,eachhouseholdwithinthe 100 metresradiuswill receivehygiene kitsincludingface

2. The programme aimsto increase the testingcapacityineachparticipatingcountryby40%, ensuring
theyreach the WHO recommendedbenchmarkof 10 testsperformedper10 000 people weekly.
Currently,around20 countries – more than a thirdof Africancountries –do not reachthis
benchmark
All testingwill be carriedoutona voluntarybasisandwill be conductedusingWHO-approved
antigenbasedrapiddiagnostictests,whichcanproduce resultson-site inaslittle as15 minutesand
can be administeredwithminimaltraining.Rapiddiagnostictestsare considered highlyaccurate for
detectinginfectionsthathave reachedthe transmissiblestage.Currently,mostcountriescarryout
polymerase chainreactionorPCRtests,whichrequire reagentsandexperts,andare significantly
more time-consumingandexpensive than rapiddiagnostictests.
There have nowbeenover8.4 millionCOVID-19casesrecordedinAfrica,including214 000 deaths.
Despite adecline incase numbersinrecentweeks,vaccinationratesremainlow,withonly30% of
the continent’s54 nationshavingfullyvaccinated10% of theirpopulationagainstthe disease—
comparedwithalmost90% of high-incomecountries.Meanwhile,justunderhalf of the African
countriesthathave receivedCOVID-19vaccineshave fullyvaccinatedjust2% or lessof their
populations.
