• Abstract: In late 2019, we witnessed the apparition of the covid-19 virus. The virus appeared first in Wuhan, and due to people travel was spread worldwide. Exponential spread as well as high mortality rates, the two characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that pushed the entire world into a global lock-down. Health and economic crisis, along with social distancing have put the globe in a highly challenging situation. Unprecedented pressure on the health care system exposed many loopholes not only in this industry but many other sectors, which resulted in a set of new challenges that researchers and scientists among others must face. In all these circumstances, we could attend, in a surprisingly short amount of time, the creation of multiple vaccine candidates. The vaccines were clinically tested and approved, which brought us to the phase of vaccination. Safety, security, transparency, and traceability are highly required in this context. As a contribution to assure an efficient vaccination campaign, in this paper we suggest a Blockchain-based system to manage the registration, storage, and distribution of the vaccines.

  This paper presents a classification model for detecting COVID-19 vaccination related search queries. We propose a novel approach of considering dense features as memory tokens that the model can attend to. We show that this new modeling approach enables a significant improvement to the Vaccine Search Insights (VSI) task.

  We look at the capacity of vaccine-critical activists to influence a wider public on social media during the COVID-19 epidemic. We analyze the evolution of debates over the COVID-19 vaccine on the French Twittosphere, during two first years of the pandemic. While debates over vaccines experienced a surge during this period, the share of vaccine-critical contents in these debates remains stable except for a limited number of short periods associated with specific events.

  We conduct an in-depth analysis of tweets related to the coronavirus vaccine on Twitter. Results show that a majority of people are confident in the effectiveness of vaccines and are willing to get vaccinated. Negative tweets are often associated with the complaints of vaccine shortages, side effects after injections and possible death after being vaccinated.

We propose a new fast screening method of analyzing the eye-region images, captured by common CCD and CMOS cameras. Our model for COVID-19 rapid prescreening have the merits of the lower cost, fully self-performed, non-invasive, importantly real-time, and thus enables the continuous health surveillance.

  Early analyses revealed that dark web marketplaces (DWMs) started offering COVID-19 related products (e.g., masks and COVID-19 tests) as soon as the COVID-19 pandemic started. Here, we broaden the scope and depth of previous investigations by analysing 194 DWMs until July 2021, including the crucial period in which vaccines became available. We show that recreational drugs are the most affected among traditional DWMs product, with COVID-19 mentions steadily increasing since March 2020.

  The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been continuously affecting human lives and communities around the world. We used multiple data sources, i.e., PubMed and ArXiv, and built several machine learning models to characterize the landscape of current COVID-19 research. Our findings confirm the types of research available in PubMed and ArXiv differ significantly, with the former exhibiting greater diversity in terms of COVID-19 related issues.

  We examine the extent to which the vaccination debate on Twitter is conductive to potential outreach to the vaccination hesitant. We discover that the vaccination skeptics, as well as the advocates, reside in their own distinct "echo chambers" At the center of these echo chambers we find the ardent supporters, for which we build highly accurate network- and content-based classifiers.
