10, our study finds lower vaccine acceptance, on average, among women than men, suggesting that messaging strategies focusing on women may be important in addressing overall hesitancy. Recent work in Latin America on COVID-19 vaccine messaging found that the provision of basic information about the...
The characteristics of hospitalised cases and controls for the Omicron and Delta period analyses are shown in Supplementary TableS1(age 18–64) and Supplementary TableS2(age 65 years and over). Note that some controls contribute to both the Omicron and Delta analyses. Pillar 2 symptomatic ECDS ad...
In Africa, refusal of COVID-19 and other vaccines is widespread for different reasons, including disbelief in the existence of the virus itself and faith in traditional remedies. In sub-Saharan countries, refusal is often made worse by opposition to vaccines by the religious establishments. This ...

We note that many previous studies used longer generation time, which is against the reported GT estimates of COVID-19, which may lead to overestimating [Math Processing Error]R0 [74]. We assumed that the initial susceptibility proportion is 95% to reflect the fact that some proportion of ...
