Attitudes toward the SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza Vaccination in the Metropolitan Cities of Bologna and Palermo, Italy

2021

Vaccine hesitancy (VH) is known to play a relevant role in thwarting the efforts toward reaching satisfactory influenza vaccination coverage, and has caused similar difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to describe the phenomenon and produce insights on the reasons behind VH. A survey was administered between December 2020 and February 2021 to adults living in the cities of Bologna and Palermo. Of the 443 subjects enrolled, 47.3% were likely to get the influenza vaccination, while 75.6% were willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccination. The most frequent determinants that motivated the willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine were trust in the safety of vaccines and belie…

The risk of the 'prison-emptying' effect in Italy due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

2020

People who live and work or are detained inside restricted communities (including prisons) need to be considered as they are at a high risk of becoming infected with Covid-19 during this pandemic.1 InItaly, the spread of Covid-19 has provoked numerous riots within the prisons and local detention centres, and there is a consequent increase in requests for inmates to be released and detained at home

Attitudes of Healthcare Personnel towards Vaccinations before and during the COVID-19 Pandemic

2021

Vaccines constitute highly effective tools for controlling and eliminating vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) and are assessed to avert between two to three million deaths per year globally. Healthcare personnel (HCP) constitute a priority group for several vaccinations. However, studies indicate significant rates of vaccine hesitancy among them and, therefore, of acceptance of vaccination recommendations. This cross-sectional study was conducted in a university hospital in Southern Italy to assess the knowledge and attitudes of HCP about VPDs before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, estimate their intention to get vaccinated against COVID-19, and search for determinants that may influence…

Management of liver disease in Italy after one year of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: a web-based survey

2021

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)pandemic has severely limited the clinical activity of most hospitals around the world. A previous survey of the Italian Association for the Study of the Liver (AISF) has demonstrated a negative impact of the first pandemic wave on all inpatient and outpatient hepatologyactivities. Like other countries, Italy has subsequently experienced a second and third wave, which occurred in November 2020 and in March 2021 respectively. During the second and third wave many hospitals had already developed emergency management plans and improved knowledge on the management of mild-moderate COVID19 disease was available. However, it is unknown w…
