Teil I beschreibt Strukturen und Massnahmen, Teil II stellt die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen für die Inflünzapandemieplanung und -bewältigung dar. Der vorliegende Teil I wurde von der Arbeitsgruppe Infektionsschutz der Arbeitsgemeinschaft der O...bersten Landesgesundheitsbehörden unter Mitwirkung des Bundesministeriums für Gesundheit, des Robert Koch- Instituts, des Paul-Ehrlich-Instituts und der Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung erstellt. Er beschreibt die Strukturen auf Bundesund Länderebene, erörtert Massnahmen und gibt Empfehlungen zur Vorbereitung auf eine Inflünzapandemie sowie für die Pandemiebewältigung auf unterschiedlichen Planungs- und Handlungsebenen. Damit dient er als Grundlage für die Pandemieplanung im medizinischen und nichtmedizinischen Bereich und in der öffentlichen Verwaltung.

The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the urgent need to build more inclusive and res...ilient societies. The region has shown its resilience in recovering from many crises in the past. Today, we are at a crucial flection point where it is clear that universal policies and economic growth alone are insufficient to eradicate the remaining pockets of exclusion. A disability-inclusive recovery should be at the core of the region’s rebuilding strategy. This matters in its own right but is also of utmost importance for the sustainability of the region.

In a cross-country analysis of vaccine hesitant respondents across Latin America in January 2021, we experimentally tested how fiv...e features of mass vaccination campaigns—the vaccine’s producer, efficacy, endorser, distributor, and current population uptake rate—shifted willingness to take a COVID-19 vaccine. We find that citizens preferred Western-produced vaccines, but were highly influenced by factual information about vaccine efficacy. Vaccine hesitant individuals were more responsive to vaccine messengers with medical expertise than political, religious, or media elite endorsements. Citizen trust in foreign governments, domestic leaders, and state institutions moderated the effects of the campaign features on vaccine acceptance. These findings can help inform the design of unfolding mass inoculation campaigns.

Day 1 involved a technical workshop to identify key re...search themes as well as the challenges, gaps, and opportunities in using climate information for cholera decision making. Day 2 was an open forum focused on information-sharing and updates from countries and partners, including a call for stronger research and data on the connection between climate and cholera.
The overarching discussion outlined the complex relationship between climate and cholera. Materials from the event – including a recording of the Day 2 open forum, key findings/messages, and a final event report – can be accessed below
