The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Immunization Campaigns and Programs: A Systematic Review.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on health service delivery, including immunization programs, and this review assesses the impact on vaccine coverage across the globe and identifies the potential underlying factors. A systematic search strategy was employed on PubMed, Embase, MedRxiv, BioRxiv, and WHO COVID-19 databases from December 2019 till 15 September 2020. Two review authors independently assessed studies for inclusion, assessed quality, and extracted the data (PROSPERO registration #CRD42020182363). ⋯ Factors contributing to low vaccine coverage included fear of being exposed to the virus at health care facilities, restriction on city-wide movements, shortage of workers, and diversion of resources from child health to address the pandemic. As the world re-strategizes for the post-2020 era, we should not let a crisis go to waste as they provide an opportunity to establish guidelines and allocate resources for future instances. High-quality supplementary immunization activities and catch-up programs need to be established to address gaps during the pandemic era.

Observational Study
The self-psychological safety maintenance and its influencing factors of community frontline staff during COVID-19 pandemic.
The present study was designed to determine the self-psychological safety maintenance and its influencing factors of community staff on the front-line during Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. A total of 126 frontline staff in community were involved in the current cross-section study. Online questionnaires including the anxiety sensitivity index-3 (ASI-3), patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9), simple coping style questionnaire (SCSQ) and general self-efficacy scale (GSES) were utilized to analyze psychological state, coping style and self-efficacy of the surveyed staff. ⋯ Additionally, lower score of self-efficacy of the community frontline staff was observed in the anxiety state group and the depression state group (P < .05). During the outbreak of COVID-19, several community frontline staff showed negative psychology of anxiety and depression, which could affect their coping style and self-efficacy. Early and effective psychological safety maintenance was required to alleviate the negative psychology of community frontline staff.

Since its first report in December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has rapidly emerged as a pandemic affecting nearly all countries worldwide. So far, there is no specific anti-coronavirus therapy approved for the treatment of COVID-19. In China, some traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) have been successfully applied to the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 and have achieved good clinical results, including the Reyanning mixture, but there is no systematic review about it. This study will systematically evaluate its efficacy and safety in the treatment of COVID-19. ⋯ INPLASY2020120044.
