Washington [US], August 20 (ANI): Since the beginning of the pandemic, researchers worldwide have been looking for ways to treat COVID-19. While the COVID-19 vaccines represent the best measure to prevent the disease, therapies for those who do get infected remain in short supply.
A new study has found some existing drugs and one supplement to be effective against COVID-19. Could these help address the ongoing health crisis amid the delta surge?
The vast majority of teens and young adults say they’re willing to get the COVID-19 vaccine or have gotten it already, a poll finds.
But as with older generations, a shrinking but still sizable minority of people age 14 to 24 say they’re not willing to get vaccinated, or that their decision will depend on safety.
The data, from the text message-based MyVoice national survey of youth based at the University of Michigan, appear in the
Journal of Adolescent Medicine, and supplemented by new polling data just received in the past week.
Eric Brandt, lead author of the new paper, notes that in the first MyVoice survey in October 2020, 76% of the 911 teens and young adults said they were willing to get vaccinated, though that included 33% who said their ultimate decision would depend on additional information. At that time, 20% of young people said they were unwilling to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
