COVID-19 VACCINATION AND VACCINE HESITANCY IN THE GAZA STRIP FROM A CROSS-SECTIONAL SURVEY IN 2023: PREVALENCE, RISK FACTORS, AND ASSOCIATIONS WITH HEALTH SYSTEM INTERVENTIONS

COVID-19 Vaccination and Vaccine Hesitancy in the Gaza Strip from a Cross-Sectional Survey in 2023: Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Associations with Health System Interventions

Background: Preventing COVID-19 in Gaza is crucial due to the devastation of advanced health services infrastructure by war.Despite the high protection offered by COVID-19 vaccines against severe disease, a 2021 survey in Gaza found only half of the population was vaccinated, and one-third was vaccine-hesitant.This follow-up study conducted in Marc

Immediate and prolonged effects of snow coverage alteration on soil carbon dynamics and microbial activity: A meta-analysis

Snow distribution has been altered over the past decades under global warming, with a significant reduction in duration and extent of snow cover and an increase in unprecedented snowstorms across large areas in cold regions.The altered snow conditions are likely to have immediate (in winter) and carry-over or legacy (which an extended effect might
