COVID-19 Updates

COVID-19 Updates

COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. Understanding of COVID-19, also called coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and novel coronavirus increases every day. Older adults are at particular risk for serious illness and those 50 and older, particularly with multiple comorbidities, are at higher risk of dying if infected. GSA continues to advocate for its members and older adults as the pandemic continues to disrupt systems of care, research, and education. 

COVID-19 Vaccine Information

Many vaccines are in the process of being developed to prevent COVID-19. After healthcare workers and long-term care staff and residents, essential workers and older adults have been prioritized to receive the vaccine. GSA members can help build confidence in conversations with older adults about the vaccine, the providers administering the vaccine, and the process by which the vaccine has been developed. Several resources are included below to assist with those conversations.

• GSA COVID-19 Vaccine Information for Older Adults
• Championing Vaccine for Older Adults and Staff in Long-Term Care Settings
• CDC COVID-19 Vaccination Communication Toolkit
• Vaccinating America Against COVID-19: panel discussion
• FDA Emergency Use Authorization Updates

The maximum allowable word count is 2,000 words. The word count includes title page, abstract and text. The reference list is limited to no more than 30 entries, and up to 3 data elements. Queries should be directed to Deborah Carr (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) for Social Sciences, and Derek Isaacowitz (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) for Psychological Sciences. Manuscripts may be uploaded to JG: Psychological Sciences at mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jgps and JG: Social Sciences at mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jgss.

• Rapid Review Question Bank and Prioritization (Cochrane Library)
  The Rapid Review Question Bank has been re-developed this week to clearly show reviews being done by Cochrane, those being done elsewhere, and open priority questions to be addressed. This list does not in itself act as title registration or a commitment from Cochrane to publish. It is a repository of questions submitted by stakeholders that is undergoing constant prioritization to identify which should be pursued within Cochrane. Showing those that are underway with key partners is not exhaustive and the main purpose is to prevent us prioritizing questions that we know are already being addressed.
