Nelson, Sandra B.; Brenner, Isaac Ravi; Homan, Elizabeth; Lee, Sarah Bott; Bongiorno, Christine; Pollock, Nira R.; Ciaranello, Andrea – Journal of School Health, 2023
Background: Per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance, students with COVID-19 may end isolation after 5 days if symptoms are improving; some individuals may still be contagious. Rapid antigen testing identifies possibly infectious virus. We report on a test-to-return (TTR) program in a Massachusetts school district to inform policy…

On April 13, 2021, the CDC announced that the administration of Johnson and Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine would be paused due to a rare blood clotting side effect in ~ 0.0001% of people given the vaccine. Most people who are hesitant to get a COVID-19 vaccine list potential side effects as their main concern (PEW, 2021); thus, it is likely that this…

Emily Burwell; Ankita Agarwal; William L. Romine – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2024
We assess the underlying topics, sentiment, and types of information regarding COVID-19 vaccines cycling through Twitter during the initiation of the vaccine rollout. Once tweets about COVID-19 vaccine posted between 1 December 2020 and 28 February 2021 were collected and preprocessed, they were categorized as either relevant or irrelevant by a…
