TL;DR: Multiple reasons for under- vaccination and non-vaccination were identified, indicating that a multi-faceted approach is needed to reach under-vaccinated and unvaccinated children.

TL;DR: COVID-19 disease severity appears to be lower during the Omicron period than during previous periods of high transmission, likely related to higher vaccination coverage,† which reduces disease severity, lower virulence, and infection-acquired immunity.

TL;DR: Clinicians should test patients with rash consistent with monkeypox,† regardless of whether the rash is disseminated or was preceded by prodrome, and public health efforts should prioritize gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men, who are currently disproportionately affected for prevention and testing.

TL;DR: The contact network was positively assortative with respect to influenza vaccination: un vaccinated individuals tended to be in contact more often with other unvaccinated individuals than with vaccinated individuals, and these effects were most pronounced when the authors analyzed contact data collected over multiple days.

TL;DR: Online contact surveys and wireless sensor devices collected incongruent network data from an identical setting, suggesting that these two methods cannot be used interchangeably for informing models of infectious disease dynamics.
