“…The COVID-19 pandemic revealed that this reckoning must include the transformation of healthcare's institutional infrastructures, including care delivery, education, and research, that help perpetuate systemic health inequities. These include, but are not limited to, those experienced due to race, place, ethnicity, and gender [18][19][20][21] . Central to achieving this goal are transformative efforts in support of DEIA.…”

“…Even with adequate social determinants of health the participants still experienced significant challenges due to COVID-19 infections. Given the systemic racism that affects access and forgone care, marginalized communities may or may not have the same themes or the same degree of effects from infection (Dickinson et al, 2021; Grimm, 2021; Ramprasad et al, 2022; Stepanikova & Oates, 2017). The lack of diversity in the participants, in part due to the location of the study and method of recruitment, needs to be explored in future research.…”

“…The high rates of COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality indicated significant disruption of society and individual lives (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022). The systemic nature of our health care system and society has led to inequities in testing, follow-up, information, vaccination, and forgone care that is predicted to exacerbate existing disparities in access to care and health outcomes (Dickinson et al, 2021; Grimm, 2021; Ramprasad et al, 2022). The results of this study fill a gap in understanding the variety of ways prolonged COVID-19 symptoms affect the daily lives of individuals.…”

Introduction: The cumulative number of COVID-19 cases has surpassed 579 million globally. Symptoms during and after COVID-19 infection vary from mild cold symptoms to severe multisystem illness. Given the wide range of symptom presentations and complications post-COVID-19, the purpose of this study was to describe the lived experience of American adults surviving COVID-19. Method: This study employed an exploratory qualitative description design. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a sample of 35 individuals (White [94%], female [71%], Mage = 43.7 years), with proximity to a university in an urban Midwest American city. Interviews occurred between May and August 2021, 3 or more months after participants tested positive for COVID-19. Results: Forty percent of the 35 participants experienced prolonged COVID-19 symptoms impacting their lifestyle. Four themes characterized the impacts of the post-COVID-19 condition on the lives of the participants within the context of a global pandemic: (a) disruptions in health and well-being, (b) persistent uncertainty, (c) disruptions in interpersonal relationships, (d) beneficent outcomes and adaptation. Discussion: This study of COVID-19 has identified important implications for physical activity and interpersonal stress. Prolonged COVID-19 symptoms led to disruptions in the health, well-being, and interpersonal relationships of participants. Health care professionals need to attend to symptoms post-COVID-19, assess interpersonal functioning, and provide guidance on physical activity. Future studies are recommended to track consequences of COVID-19’s impact on long-term health and well-being.

“…As of August 2022, we identified over 17 articles on COVID vaccine hesitancy including a wide range of example groups such as health care workers [ 31 ], those with a disease [ 32 ], older populations [ 33 ], children [ 34 ] as well as groups historically affected by structural racism where COVID only made inequalities worse including poorer health outcomes [ 35 ]. Yet in all of these articles, few recommendations beyond improving outreach methods were given.…”

COVID-19 quickly spread across the United States (US) while communications and policies at all government levels suffered from inconsistency, misinformation, and lack of coordination. In order to explain the discrepancy between availability and population uptake, a case study was conducted analyzing vaccine rollout plans, social media, and Health Officer/Other Key Informant interviews in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Key research questions included, “What were the barriers and facilitators of early COVID vaccine distribution?” and “What mechanisms in the community emerged to alleviate strains in early vaccination?” Findings from this study revealed that pre-existing emergency preparedness infrastructures and plans developed since the 9/11 tragedy were seemingly abandoned. This caused health departments at all levels of government to make impromptu, non-uniform decisions leading to confusion, vaccine hesitancy, and ultimately low uptake. The results indicate that future vaccine rollout best practices must include evidence-based decision-making, coordinated communications, and outreach to high-priority and vulnerable communities.
