Stand März 2022
orientations provisoires, première publication : 8 janvier 2021, mise à jour : 15 juin 2021, mise à jour : 19 novembre 2021, mise à jour : 21 janvier 2022
These WHO interim recommendations for use of the BBV152 COVAXIN vaccine were developed on the basis of advice issued by the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE) and the evidence summary included in the background document and annexes referenced below.
This document has been ...updated: version 15 March 2022.
The vaccine is formulated from an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 antigen and is presented in single dose vials and multidose vials of 5, 10 and 20 doses.more
Esta orientação provisória foi desenvolvida com base na recomendação emitida pelo Grupo Consultivo Estratégico de Especialistas (SAGE) em imunização, em sua reunião extraordinária de 5 de janeiro de 2021, e atualizada durante sua reunião extraordinária de 27 de maio de 2021 (2), sendo no...vamente atualizada em 19 de novembro de 2021 e em 19 de janeiro de 2022. Foram coletadas as declarações de interesses de todos os colaboradores externos, sendo elas avaliadas quanto a quaisquer conflitos de interesse. Os resumos dos interesses relatados podem ser encontrados no site da reunião do SAGE e no site do Grupo de Trabalho do SAGE. A orientação se baseia em evidências resumidas no documento de referência sobre a vacina de mRNA BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) contra COVID-19 (4), sendo novamente atualizado com base em novos dados provenientes de publicações científicas.more
21 January 2022
The overall threat posed by Omicron largely depends on four key questions: (i) how transmissible the variant is; (ii) how well vaccines and prior infection protect against infection, transmission, clinical disease and death; (iii) how virulent the variant is compared to other varian...ts; and (iv) how populations understand these dynamics, perceive risk and follow control measures, including public health and social measures (PHSM).more
Über SARS-CoV-2-Testsysteme informieren das Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte (BfArM) und das Paul-Ehrlich-Institut. Die Informationen ergänzen sich, den rechtlichen Rahmen bietet u.a. die Coronavirus-Testverordnung-TestV.
Das BfArM bietet eine Liste von Antigen-Tests zum dir...ekten Erregernachweis des Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 an. In dieser Liste befinden sich diejenigen Tests, die sich laut Herstellerangaben gemäß den Vorgaben des Medizinproduktegesetzes (MPG) rechtmäßig in Europa bzw. Deutschland in Verkehr befinden und alle vom Paul-Ehrlich-Institut in Abstimmung mit dem Robert Koch-Institut (RKI) festgelegten Mindestkriterien für Antigen-Tests erfüllen.more
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to large increases in healthcare waste, straining under resourced healthcare facilities and exacerbating environmental impacts from solid waste. This report quantifies the additional COVID-19 healthcare waste generated, describes current healthcare waste management syst...ems and their deficiencies, and summarizes emerging best practices and solutions to reduce the impact of waste on human and environmental health. The recommendations included in the report build on actions in the WHO manifesto for a healthy recovery from COVID-19: prescriptions and actionables for a healthy and green recovery. They target the global, national and facility levels to promote a “win–win” scenario for COVID-19 PPE use, testing and vaccinations that are safe and support environmental sustainability.more
9 Febr. 2022
The COVID Covovax™ (SIIPL) and Nuvaxovid™ (Novavax) vaccine explainer includes key vaccine specific information on the vaccine specific requirements.
A rapid evidence briefing. Vaccinated people are less likely to develop long COVID, even if they get infected, a rapid review of 15 studies by the UK Health Security Agency shows.
17 Febr. 2022. As part of the “Strategy to Achieve Global COVID-19 Vaccination by mid-2022”, global targets of 40% population coverage by end of 2021 and 70% coverage by June 2022 have been set by the World Health Organization (WHO), to successfully prevent severe illness and deaths, minimize so...cial disruption and economic consequences of COVID-19, curtail the emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) and ultimately control the pandemic.more
O SAGE aplica os princípios da medicina baseada em evidências e estabeleceu um processo metodológico completo para emitir ou atualizar recomendações. Especificamente para vacinas contra a COVID-19, uma descrição detalhada dos processos metodológicos pode ser encontrada no esquema de evidênc...ias do SAGE para vacinas contra a COVID-19. Esse esquema contém orientações sobre como levar em consideração os dados provenientes de ensaios clínicos em apoio à emissão de recomendações baseadas em evidências específicas para vacinas.more
This guidance addresses rationale, risk-based scenarios, practical considerations prior to adoption of the self-testing products, quality assurance, safety and ethical considerations, and data management considerations for COVID-19 self-testing. The Africa CDC recommends the use of rapid antigen sel...f-testing within two key scenarios. The first includes testing for case identification within scenarios with a high risk of infection, including symptomatic cases and contacts of a confirmed case. The second scenario involves general screening within scenarios of low or unknown risk exposure allowing for self-care such as before gatherings with at-risk individuals and prior to participation in events involving members of different households. Within these scenarios, a positive test result indicates likelihood of current infection, while a negative test result indicates a lower risk of active infection, though it does not rule out infection altogether. All positive cases should be managed following the national COVID-19 management protocol of Member States.ssurmore
9 March 2022, Timely and accurate diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 is an essential part of a comprehensive COVID-19 response strategy. Ag-RDTs can be performed by individuals in which they collect their own specimen, perform a simple rapid test and interpret their test result themselves at a time a...nd place of their choosing, termed COVID-19 self-testing. This interim guidance provides a new recommendation that COVID-19 self-testing, using SARS-CoV-2 Ag-RDTs, should be offered as part of SARS-CoV-2 testing services. It also includes implementation considerations that can guide decisions on whether, and how, to adopt self-testing in different contexts, including the populations being prioritized; the disease prevalence in that population; and the impact on accessibility of testing, health care services and result reporting.more
Las presentes directrices contienen nuevas recomendaciones que se han consolidado aquí de forma integrada con las recomendaciones ya existentes que permanecen sin cambios y con las que se han actualizado tras una nueva evaluación en que se han utilizado los mismos métodos rigurosos, tanto para la...s recomendaciones nuevas como para las recomendaciones actualizadas.more
Working towards better COVID-19 outcomes in the WHO European Region.From the first COVID-19 cases in Europe reported on
24 January 2020, the pandemic reached 1 million cases
within 3 months, 10 million cases within 8 months, and
100 million cases in Europe alone within 2 years. Over
the course o...f its two years, COVID-19 has claimed over
1.6 million lives across Europe and Central Asia. The
World Health Organization (WHO) European Region has
accounted for close to a third of the cumulative global
COVID-19 cases and deaths.more
Wearing a face mask can help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the community by reducing the release of respiratory droplets from asymptomatic / pre-symptomatic individuals or those with mild non-specific symptoms. The use of face masks for this purpose may be adopted to reduce the societal impact as...sociated with absence from work or healthcare pressures due to infection, or to protect vulnerable individuals in particular settings.more
