“…However, healthcare providers, stated that individuals were particularly reluctant to bring their children in for routine check-ups due to the potential risk of exposure to COVID-19. Recent studies have identified similar findings, suggesting that caregivers missed routine pediatric care due to the fear of contracting COVID-19, increasing the risk of morbidity and mortality associated with treatable and preventable health conditions [ 45 , 46 ].…”

This qualitative study aimed to determine the perceived barriers of different community stakeholders’ to providing resources for improving food security in households with young children in the U.S. Community stakeholders working with low-income families with children 0–3 years of age in Florida were recruited to represent healthcare (n = 7), community/policy development (n = 6), emergency food assistance (n = 6), early childhood education (n = 7), and nutrition education (n = 6) sectors. In 2020, one-on-one interviews were conducted with each stakeholder in via Zoom, using an interview script based on the PRECEDE–PROCEED model and questions to capture the impacts of COVID-19. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using a deductive thematic approach. A cross-tab qualitative analysis was used to compare data across categories of stakeholders. Healthcare professionals and nutrition educators indicated stigma, community/policy development stakeholders indicated a lack of time, emergency food assistance personnel indicated a limited access to food, and early childhood professionals indicated a lack of transportation as the main barriers to food security prior to COVID-19. COVID-19 impacts included the fear of virus exposure, new restrictions, lack of volunteers, and a lack of interest in virtual programming as barriers to food security. As perceived barriers may vary with respect to providing resources to improve food security in families with young children and the COVID-19 impacts persist, coordinated policy, systems, and environmental changes are needed.

“…Drops in annual physician visits during the pandemic could have decreased vaccination rates against B. pertussis , therefore future spikes in rates remains unknown. 6 Reliance of vaccination status was based on immunization information present in a patient's chart which could have been incomplete. Additionally, positive cases observed are from a single system, however, the trend does follow that of LA County.…”

“…COVID-19 also led to children staying home from school, and impacted primary care visits where routine vaccines are given. 6 We sought to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 mitigation measures on the number of primary pertussis cases in patients and secondary cases in staff members at ambulatory clinics at our institution before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

“…In addition to cancer-centered care, the pandemic has also affected the delivery of routine follow-up and laboratory visits. A considerable number of routine pediatric visits have been either postponed or canceled, leading to a decrease in subsequent referrals to specialists for lab results or symptoms that would have otherwise triggered a referral in the absence of COVID-19 [ 21 ]. Other patients with delayed diagnosis were noted to have prior contact with healthcare systems due to concern about abnormal symptomatology but were not referred to the emergency department or for further lab work, possibly due to the want to limit potential exposures to COVID-19 [ 6 ].…”

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic affected the pediatric oncology population globally. Over the course of 2 years, increasing reports have been made to better understand this entity and its pathologic complications on these patients. The pandemic has allowed healthcare providers, hospital systems, and leading oncologic societies to quickly adapt and formulate new guidelines for the effective understanding, management, and treatment of patients with pediatric malignancy.
