Effectiveness of up-to-date COVID-19 vaccination in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection among nursing home residents: study reveals 31.2% protection covid COVID19 SARSCov2 vaccine vaccination
By Neha MathurJun 26 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the United States Centers for Disease Prevention and Control reported findings of the surveillance of nursing home residents by the National Healthcare Safety Network , wherein they surveyed whether they were up-to-date with coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination.
Background The NHSN defined up-to-date COVID-19 vaccination as the receipt of a bivalent messenger ribonucleic acid technology-based COVID-19 vaccine or a primary series within the preceding two months, starting from October 2022. The NHSN data comprised the number of SARS-CoV-2-infected cases and the number of nursing home residents stratified by patient vaccination status. Notably, in the US, all Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services -certified nursing homes submit weekly incident COVID-19 cases and vaccination data to NHSN.
The study model used the nursing home randomly to understand inter-facility variability. The study covariates were calendar week, social vulnerability index , and county-level incidence, to name a few. Finally, they estimated VE against SARS-CoV-2 infection as one − rate ratio x100.

Effects of corrective and breathing exercises on respiratory function of older adults with a history of COVID-19 infection: a randomized controlled trial - BMC Complementary Medicine and TherapiesBackground Patients with a history of COVID-19 infection may suffer from different physical problems. This study aimed to investigate the effect of corrective and breathing exercises on improving respiratory function among patients with a history of COVID-19 infection. Methods In this clinical trial study, thirty elderlies with a history of COVID-19 disease were divided into two groups (mean age 63.60 ± 3.56 experimental, 59.87 ± 2.99 control groups) based on the study inclusion criteria. Exercise interventions included two sections- breathing exercises and corrective exercises in the cervical and thoracic spine. The spirometry test, craniovertebral angle, and thoracic kyphosis test were used. To evaluate differences between variables, paired-samples t-test and ANCOVA were used (p-value 0.01). The Eta-squared value of 0.51 for the Craniovertebral angle and the SPO2 indicates a large effect size. Conclusions The results showed the combination of corrective and breathing exercises could improve pulmonary function and correct cervical and thoracic posture in patients with a history of COVID-19 infection. Therefore, corrective and breathing exercises can be helpful as a complementary treatment along with pharmaceutical therapy to reduce chronic pulmonary complications in patients infected with COVID-19. Trial registration This research was registered in the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT registration number: IRCT20160815029373N7, First trial registration: 23/08/2021, Registration date: 01/09/2021).
