Pour parler d’échappement vaccinal stricto sensu, il faut que l’infection survienne au moins deux semaines après l’administration de la deuxième dose d’un vaccin à ARNm. Rien de surprenant, puisqu’il n’a jamais été clamé que l’efficacité vaccinale était de 100 %. Plusieurs questions légitimes se posent néanmoins : Les patients "victimes" d’un échappement vaccinal présentent-ils des particularités communes? Quel est leur profil démographique et clinique ? Quel est le pronostic de la Covid-19 dans ce cas précis, notamment quand une hospitalisation est nécessaire ? 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chappement%20vaccinal

El turismo de vacunas es un fenómeno derivado de la pandemia de coronavirus[, ] Estados Unidos se ha convertido en un oasis para algunos países latinoamericanos donde el proceso de vacunación es lento o simplemente incierto. Ante las dudas y la espera, grupos de personas han empezado a viajar al país del norte con el único objetivo de recibir la o las dosis del inmunizante. El turismo vacunal es posible porque algunos Estados, ante la sobreoferta de vacunas, han emprendido la inoculación a no residentes sin importar su situación legal dentro del país. 1, record 4, Spanish, - turismo%20de%20vacunas

Vaccine nationalism is when governments sign agreements with pharmaceutical manufacturers to supply their own populations with vaccines ahead of them becoming available for other countries. Though we expect governments to make these arrangements to protect their citizens, the downside is it creates supply problems that leave poorer countries without access to life-saving vaccines. 2, record 5, English, - vaccine%20nationalism
