However, in order to ensure the effectiveness of vaccination, monitoring and evaluation of the effect of vaccines to produce antibodies are always important. In this study, we evaluated the antibody concentration against the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 after 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccine on medical staffs at the Hanoi Medical University. There were 66 out of 68 (97.06%) study participants whose anti-RBD antibody concentration of SARS-CoV-2 reached the threshold that could make convalescent plasma products with high antibody titers according to the criteria of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards. The average anti-RBD antibody concentration of SARS-CoV-2 of the group receiving 2 doses of AZD1222 (AstraZeneca) vaccine and the group receiving at least 1 dose of BTN162b2 (Pfizer) vaccine were 1202.33 and 4312.92 U/mL, respectively. In a total of 56 study subjects who received 2 doses of AZD1222 vaccine, we found a decrease in the anti-RBD antibody concentration of SARS-CoV-2 in the group that received the 2nd dose over 90 days compared to the group under 90 days (p=0.044). At the same time, we did not find an association between adverse effects and anti-RBD antibody concentration of SARS-CoV-2 after the AZD1222 vaccination. These results once again emphasize the effectiveness of the vaccination campaign in Vietnam, as well as contribute to the importance of deploying booster vaccinations to ensure the maintenance of the protective effectiveness of the vaccine.","PeriodicalId":113874,"journal":{"name":"vietnam journal of public health","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131309415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, we explored the causes of domestic violence during the pandemic and women’s coping strategies in such situations. Methods: A cross-sectional design was applied, using both quantitative data (n=303) and qualitative data (n=15) with the research subject of women who have experienced domestic violence. Results: There were 34%, 58.7%, 57.8%, and 25.1% of women suffering from financial abuse, physical violence, emotional violence, and sexual violence during the COVID-19 pandemic, respectively. A high proportion of women (more than 70%) reported that they suffered more frequently during the pandemic comparing to the period of pre-pandemic. The prevalence of all types of domestic violence was higher in households which had to borrow money or sell assets due to the pandemic, compared with households without dept. The higher frequency of husband/partner’s drinking, the higher prevalence of domestic violence. The qualitative study disclosed that job losses or having no income were the main roots of domestic violence during the pandemic and alcohol consumption among husbands/partners also considerably played a role in exacerbating the events of domestic violence. However, more than half of them did not seek support to escape from violent events since they are perceived as personal or private issues, and no one could help them. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the domestic violence against women. Therefore, it is needed to prioritize and integrate domestic violence issues into prevention, response, and risk mitigation parts of COVID-19-related programs.","PeriodicalId":113874,"journal":{"name":"vietnam journal of public health","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125658861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Collecting and analyzing such documents will allow lessons to be learned from both successes and failures in each and all four phases of the pandemic. The analysis is mainly through a comparative comparison of these documents with the basic functions of public health, a basic theoretical framework developed by the World Health Organization experts based on fundamental principles agreed upon by member countries of the United Nations. Vietnam is one of those consensus countries. That theoretical framework is standardized in each participating country accordingly before being promulgated. In Vietnam, that stage was completed in 2001 with the approval of the Ministry of Health. The research conducted during this particular pandemic allowed the team to make initial observations on how these basic public health functions were applied in a factual and specific event.

There are still Covid-19 infections among those who have been vaccinated with various Covid-19 vắc xins. Objective: The study aims to examine the association between Covid-19 infection and vaccination status among people who contracted with Covid-19 in Khanh Hoa province in the second half of the year 2021 through comparison of (1) virus load based on Ct index; (2) length of stay in the health facilities; and (3) days of conversion to negative results of PCR test. Comparison of these three indices between AstraZeneca vắc xin and Verocell vắc xin was also made. Methods: Case series design was applied to recruit confirmed cases of Covid-19 infection. Non-parametric analysis was used to compare medians of variables of Ct values, length of hospitalization (by days), and days of negative conversion of PCR tests. Analysis was performed with R software. Results: Ct value median among people who have vaccinated fully was lower than those who haven’t vaccinated yet. The length of hospitalization among people who have been vaccinated or fully vaccinated were longer than those who haven’t vaccinated yet (13 and 14 days compared with 11 days). There was a need of 11 days for negative conversion of PCR test among Covid-19 cases who haven’t vaccinated yet, shorter than Covid-19 cases who have vaccinated (12 days). These three indices were better in people who vaccinated with AstraZeneca vắc xin compared with Verocell vắc xin. Conclusions: Among confirmed cases of Covid-19 infection, Ct median of people who haven’t vaccinated yet was higher than others. Shorter length of hospitalization was observed among people who haven’t vaccinated yet, and longer days of negative conversion of PCR test was reported in vaccinated people.
