The National Guard experienced their largest deployments over the past several years in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and incidents of civil unrest. Troops bolstered both the medical and criminal justice responses in various communities across the country. This ASPR TRACIE document provides a brief overview and history of the National Guard, related training, and recent deployments, with a focus on how troops were used to support both pandemic and civil unrest responses. Two case studies illustrate how collaboration and communication contributed to a successful response, identified challenges, and provided suggestions for future work.

The authors describe a cohort study of more than 40,000 Medicare hospital admissions between September 1, 2020, and June 30, 2022, to determine whether increased hospital strain due to the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with the rate of adverse effects in hospitals. They found a statistically significant increase in adverse effects in both patients with and without COVID-19 during periods of high hospital COVID-19 burden.

This study aimed to assess potential Campaign impact by examining the relationship between recalled Campaign exposure and COVID-19 vaccine confidence among American adults. During the study period (January 21–November 3, 2021), the Campaign additionally aimed to influence the “Movable Middle” segment of the population—vaccine-hesitant individuals who had not yet decided whether to get a COVID-19 vaccine. We additionally focused our reporting of results on those pertaining to the Movable Middle.

The authors examined the history of emergency use authorizations (EUAs) since their inception in 2004, with a particular focus on their use during the COVID-19 pandemic. EUAs facilitated the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines and allowed a pause for safety review of one vaccine. The authors also discussed new drug/vaccine application approvals.

This consensus study report offers a phased framework based on ethical and procedural principles for equitable allocation of COVID-19 vaccine that reduces severe morbidity and mortality and negative societal effects of the pandemic. In addition to the framework, the authors addressed implementation challenges related to program administration, risk communication and community engagement, vaccine acceptance, and global equity in allocation.

The authors share how Body Collection Points (BCP) (temporary refrigeration units used to handle decedents when hospital morgues reach capacity during a disaster or pandemic) were used during the COVID-19 pandemic. Photos of various BCPs and a COVID-19 death flowchart illustrate promising practices for handling many decedents at once. The authors provide additional recommendations for management and encourage planning for future global disasters."

The authors assessed the effects of hospital surge on COVID-19 mortality through a retrospective cohort study of administrative hospital data. They found an association between surge and mortality risk and suggested that nearly one in four COVID-19 deaths studied could be attributed to hospital surge illustrating that many hospitals were in crisis conditions that may have not been well-recognized.
