Introduction: In 2020, during France's COVID-19 response, healthcare professionals from a hospital and an association initiated health mediation interventions in Marseille's vulnerable neighbourhoods, funded by the regional health authorities. This mixed method research evaluates the CORHESAN program that lasted until June 2022.
Methods: We examined CORHESAN documents and reports, conducted interviews, and analysed activity data, comparing it to the COVID-19 hotspots identified on a weekly basis at the neighbourhood level, using generalised linear mixed models (GLMMs).
Article Synopsis
- Testing was crucial in managing COVID-19, particularly in identifying disparities in testing coverage among different socio-demographic groups in South-Eastern France.
- An ecological analysis revealed six socio-demographic profiles based on deprivation levels and urban-rural distinctions, showing significant fluctuations in testing rates across these groups.
- The study found that while testing rates were highest in privileged and downtown areas, very deprived populations experienced the lowest testing rates, highlighting inequities in healthcare access during the pandemic.
Objective: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Delta variant was classified as a variant of concern in May 2021 due to its increased transmissibility. It became dominant in Europe during the summer, raising concerns on the effectiveness of vaccines. We assessed the vaccine effectiveness (VE) of mRNA BNT162b2 (BioNTech-Pfizer) against SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant during an outbreak affecting long-term care facility (LTCF) residents in southern France, May 2021.
