{"title":"Déploiement du vaccin : Impact socio-économique sur l’obtention de l’immunité contre la COVID-19","authors":"Morgan Donohue","doi":"10.18192/uojm.v11is1.6029","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18192/uojm.v11is1.6029","url":null,"abstract":"La pandémie de COVID-19 est sans aucun doute la plus grande crise sanitaire des temps modernes. Avec presque 933,785 infections et 22,676 morts au Canada [1], il est de la plus haute importance de distribuer rapidement des vaccins approuvés aux populations les plus touchées. Tragiquement, ces populations sont principalement des Canadiens racialisés et à faible revenu. Cependant, Ottawa n'a actuellement aucun plan pour aider ces personnes à surmonter les obstacles à l'accès aux soins de santé, y compris l'accès au vaccin COVID-19. Des subventions pour le transport, la perte de salaire, ainsi que plus d'information sur le vaccin (engagement du publique) sont nécessaires pour la vaccination des familles à faible revenu au Canada. \u0000Pendant cette pandémie, les gens le plus touchées par le virus au Canada sont des familles a fiable revenu et des personnes racialisées. Par exemple en Ontario entre Janvier 2020 et Juin 2020, les quartiers connaissant des niveaux élevés de pauvreté affichent deux fois plus de taux d'infection au COVID-19 que les communautés à revenu élevé. De plus, les personnes infectées provenant de quartiers à faible revenu ont connu plus de complications graves à la suite de l'infection [2]. Les raisons sous-jacentes potentielles à cela pourraient être dues à une exposition accrue au virus, ainsi qu'à un risque plus élevé de conditions préexistantes dans ces populations [3]. Malheureusement, ces divisions entre les classes qui se traduisent par de moins bons résultats de santé dans les communautés à faible revenu existaient bien avant la pandémie de COVID-19. Les barrières financières qui entraînent une mauvaise qualité des aliments, des environnements de logement insalubres et une augmentation des niveaux de stress global contribuent actuellement aux comorbidités signalées de pauvreté (hypertension, diabète, maladies cardiovasculaires, et maladies respiratoires chroniques) [3]. Ces conditions mentionnées ci-dessus placent cependant les personnes ayant une faible statistique socio-économique à un risque élevé de complications graves du COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":30662,"journal":{"name":"University of Ottawa Journal of Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46304428","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}

Out of eleven countries studied in the 2017 Commonwealth Fund report, Canada was ranked second last for overall access to care, and last for timeliness of care [1]. Access is a multifactorial issue, but two key problems that arise are wait times, and equitability. It is widely acknowledged that Canadians need to wait a long time for many health interventions, but it can often erroneously be assumed that equal access and affordability are no longer issues in a universal healthcare system. Evidence demonstrates that this is wishful thinking. As we deal with the Covid 19 pandemic, these challenges protrude in an already failing system.","PeriodicalId":30662,"journal":{"name":"University of Ottawa Journal of Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47012809","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}

Science is a slow, methodical process that requires careful consideration of prior evidence, ethics, measurement, sampling, analysis, and implications, to name a few. Still, we appreciate the call to shift priorities and allocate resources to conduct research about this global event. The stakes are high and information is needed to guide us on how children and youth are faring during this unprecedented time. One problem is that sub-standard studies, often released as non-peer reviewed preprints, are being promoted on social media and in news outlets, and this attention can influence the public’s perception of risk, the credibility of scientists, and policy makers’ decisions related to funding and programming. Some scholars and medical professionals see preprints as a necessity during the pandemic to circumvent the lengthy review process and to arm professionals with the most up-to-date data.2 Others see this growing trend as facilitating the spread of misinformation because, unlike scientists who approach non-peer reviewed research with caution, popular news outlets and the public may take preprints at face value.3,4 Our goal is thus to remind readers of what constitutes good science in the field of child and youth mental health.","PeriodicalId":30662,"journal":{"name":"University of Ottawa Journal of Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44174343","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}
