Predictors of the willingness to receive the third dose of COVID-19 vaccine based on the Health Belief Model: A cross-sectional study in South Khorasan province.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections have re-emerged in several countries due to reduced levels of antibodies provided by vaccines or the rapid emergence of viral variants, such as Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta. A considerable supplementary intervention is recommended, including an additional dose of vaccination. The present study aimed to assess the predictors of the willingness to receive the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) constructs among people referring to health centers in South Khorasan province.

The predictors of the intention to receive Covid-19 vaccine using the health belief model and theory of planned behavior in South Khorasan province.

Background: Widespread vaccination coverage in the shortest time is one of the most effective ways for controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors affecting people's intention to get the COVID-19 vaccine are of great importance. The present study aimed to investigate the predictors of the intention to receive the Covid-19 vaccine based on the constructs of the health belief model (HBM) and theory of planned behavior (TPB) in South Khorasan Province.

Acceptance of COVID-19 Vaccine and Related Factors in Iran: A Cross-sectional Study.

Introduction: One of the most important strategies to control COVID-19 pandemic is vaccination. Effective vaccination coverage is necessary to control this pandemic. Therefore, in this study we investigated acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine and associated factors among Iranian population.

Red Cell Distribution Width as a Prognostic Indicator for Mortality and ICU Admission in Patients with COVID-19.

Background: COVID-19 disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus can lead to an acute respiratory illness with a high hospitalization and mortality risk. Therefore, prognostic indicators are essential for early interventions. As a component of complete blood counts, the coefficient of variation (CV) of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) reflects cellular volume variations.

The Clinical and Molecular Assessment of Iranian Families with Severe Congenital Neutropenia, Identification of HYOU1 and SHOC2 as Potential Novel Gene Defects.

Neutropenia congenita grave (SCN) is a rare disease with a genetically and clinically heterogeneous nature, usually diagnosed in childhood, with an elevated risk of infections such as otitis, skin infections, pneumonia, deep abscesses, and septicemia. Patients with SCN also have an increased risk of leukemia, and mutations in the ELANE and the HAX1 genes have been observed in those patients. This study was conducted to genetically screen six Iranian families with SCN who have at least one affected person.
