“…In this review, we synthetized results from 13 studies. [119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131] Eccles et al, using a geographical visualization method and IIS, assessed how geographical distribution of those who refuse vaccine had changed during a certain period and over time, identifying specific areas of non-vaccinated. 125 This geographical distribution has high public health impact, both to identify areas with health systems or ethnic-religious barriers and to identify areas with sanitary issues.…”

“…The geographical areas, based on ZIP code, tended to have vaccination coverage similar to their neighbors. 130,144 Geolocalization could also be useful to drive allocation of scarce governmental resources in initiatives where it is needed most. 120 Indeed, during an epidemic outbreak, vaccine campaign not only needs to first target people with a higher risk (for complications or for epidemiological reasons) but it also needs to take into account the geographical distribution of the outbreak.…”

Immunization is one of the most important public health interventions to contrast infectious disease; however, many people nowadays refuse vaccination. Vaccine hesitancy (VH) is due to several factors that influence the complex decision-making process. Information technology tools might play an important role in vaccination programs. In particular, immunization information systems (IISs) have the potential to improve performance of vaccination programs and to increase vaccine uptake. This review aimed to present IIS functionalities in order to counter VH. In detail, we analyzed the automatic reminder/recall system, the interoperability of the system, the decision support system, the web page interface and the possibility to record adverse events following immunization. IIS could concretely represent a valid instrument to increase vaccine confidence, especially trust in both health-care workers and decision makers. There are not enough trials aimed to evaluate the efficacy of IIS to counter VH. Further researches might focalize on this aspect.

“…Research has shown a strong spatial pattern to flu transmission, as the prevalence of flu in own and neighboring areas is strongly correlated (Trogdon and Ahn, 2015). Thus using a finer geographic area as an "exogenous" treatment would be problematic, even if the data were available.…”

Using a balanced sample of workers from the NHIS, we estimate of the impact of paid sick leave (PSL) insurance on absenteeism in the United States. PSL increases absenteeism by 1.2 days per year, a large effect given the typical benefit duration. Consistent with moral hazard, the effects are concentrated in moderate sick days, not severe ones. In addition, we merge the NHIS with Google Flu Trends. Severe influenza outbreaks lead workers to exhaust sick days, consequently leading to a replacement rate of zero for additional absences. Consistent with a lower replacement rate, worker absenteeism is reduced on the margin. We thank Glenn Blomquist, Frank Scott, Bill Hoyt, John Garen and Tim Harris for helpful comments. We also thank Matthis Schendstok for research assistance. Any errors are, of course, our own.2
