Background & objectives The COVID-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented global immunization efforts, with drive-through vaccination campaigns established to expedite and ensure safe coverage. However, research on immediate adverse events following immunization (AEFI) in these settings is limited. This study aims to evaluate the frequency and characteristics of immediate AEFI during drive-through COVID-19 vaccination campaigns in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, using the Sinovac/CoronaVac vaccine Methods This cross-sectional study utilized secondary data from the local vaccine registry managed by the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia, from July 27 to September 6, 2021.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, College of Medicine, Asan Medical Center, Ulsan University, 88 Olympic-ro 43 gil, Pungnap 2(i)-dong, Songpa-gu, Seoul, 05505, Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the relationship between chronic recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis (LE) and accompanying pathologies using MRI and arthroscopic findings.
  • Out of 49 patients, the study classified them into two groups based on lateral collateral ligament (LCL) complex injuries and found significant differences in symptom duration and steroid injection history between the groups.
  • The research concluded that recalcitrant LE is often linked to additional pathologies like LCL insufficiency and elbow plica lesions, with certain arthroscopic findings serving as indicators for these conditions.

The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated a need for robust SARS-CoV-2 test evaluation infrastructure to underpin biosecurity and protect the population during a pandemic health emergency. The first generation of rapid antigen tests was less accurate than molecular methods due to their inherent sensitivity and specificity shortfalls, compounded by the consequences of self-testing. This created a need for more accurate point-of-care SARS-CoV-2 detection methods.
