Many publications have reported that acute COVID-19 infection can cause autonomic dysfunction. In this series, we described seven patients who had recurrent fever after acute COVID-19 infection, and the possible pathophysiological basis is autonomic dysfunction. ⋯ The COVID-19 infection can lead to autonomic dysfunction, which manifests not only as tachycardia and blood pressure abnormalities, but may also be the pathophysiological mechanism underlying recurrent fever in post-COVID cases.

At the beginning of December 2022, the Chinese government made major adjustments to the epidemic prevention and control measures. The epidemic infection data and laboratory makers for infected patients based on this period may help with the management and prognostication of COVID-19 patients. ⋯ The laboratory model established in this study showed high discrimination, calibration, and net benefit. It may be used for early identification of severe patients with COVID-19.

Vaccines against diseases such as herpes zoster, pneumococcus and influenza are broadly recommended for older adults, but uptake is frequently low. ⋯ This review discusses results from attempts to expand and simplify the adult vaccination process, potentially allowing vaccination to be initiated by the recipient and completed in a single visit. These studies suggest that expanding adult vaccination access to new providers and/or new settings will require development of an integrated plan for preventive healthcare, covering areas such as setting target coverage rates, financial support, and development of immunization information systems accessible to all vaccination providers to maintain accurate immunization records and support interventions such as reminders.

We aimed to investigate the clinical findings of hospitalized paediatric COVID-19 patients by the end of 2022. ⋯ Febrile convulsions and acute laryngitis are frequently observed in children diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection. Moreover, MIS-C and abnormal neuroimaging appear to be relatively common phenomena in severe/critical cases.
