BMC Public Health
December 2024
Angered Hospital, Hospitals West, Region Västra Götaland, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Background: In most countries, lower rates of COVID-19 vaccination have been observed in foreign-born individuals, yet little is known about the underlying reasons, especially as reported by these individuals themselves. This exploratory interview study investigated lack of information access and hesitancy towards taking the COVID-19 vaccine among foreign-born individuals in Sweden.
Methods: We used purposive sampling to recruit foreign-born adults who expressed being hesitant towards getting vaccinated, as well as health guides and doulas who were assigned to spread COVID-19 related information in immigrant-dense urban areas.

Article Synopsis
- Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR), particularly when diagnosed prenatally due to urinary tract dilatation, often goes unnoticed but creates anxiety for parents and healthcare providers due to its potential complications.
- *Research indicates that prenatal VUR is typically characterized by higher grades and is distinct from VUR identified through recurring urinary tract infections.
- *A review of existing studies on asymptomatic infants shows limited effectiveness of continuous antibiotic prophylaxis in preventing urinary tract infections, suggesting that the true progression of VUR remains inadequately understood.*
