In the pursuit of equitable diabetes care, international knowledge exchange (iKE) serves as a crucial mechanism for narrowing the gaps in quality within and between countries.

Article Synopsis
- Public hesitation towards COVID-19 vaccination is largely due to safety concerns, while the seasonal influenza vaccine is widely accepted due to its long-standing safety record.
- A study involving over 5,000 participants in Israel examined heart rates and reactions post-vaccination for both the COVID-19 booster and influenza vaccines, revealing that COVID-19 vaccinations elicited higher heart rates and stress measures shortly after the shot.
- Overall, despite more noticeable side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine, the analysis shows that both vaccines have a solid safety profile with no significant risks of hospitalization following their administration.
