The exponential model is a commonly used epidemic model for the analysis of initial outbreak data due to an infectious disease. But there have been questions about its validity in practice. This article examines this issue through statistical analysis on 22 countries' initial COVID-19 outbreak data provided by the World Health Organization. For each of 22 countries, a general regression analysis is conducted for the cumulative confirmed cases. Our regression function is a 3-5 piecewise fitted functions which are obtained via regression analysis

Present study focuses on the attitudes/perceptions regarding negative attitudes, hesitancy (uncertainty, unwillingness) and anxiety towards COVID-19 within the Saudian context. A cross-sectional web-based study uses convenience sampling technique for data collection through self-administrated validated questionnaire translated in Arabic language. Outcomes of the study revealed that more than 3/4th (80%) of respondents expressed intermediate to high levels of negative attitude towards vaccines, in general. The most common reasons for vaccine hesitancy were the concerns about the vaccine's possible side effects, not taking it as a serious infection, and its efficacy in preventing the infection. Regarding anxiety towards coronavirus, it was found to be quite low. Decision tree analysis was used to assess the relationship between hesitancy and demographic characteristics of the respondents. Findings of the study pinpoint specific areas, on which to focus on, for the health care administrators in case of resurgence of the pandemic. The health administrators may incorporate the suggestions of the present study when framing their future policies for enhancing confidence and alleviating fears of the populace at large to receive COVID-19 vaccination.

Vaccination against COVID-19 is designed to provide herd immunity. However, there are cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection after vaccination. Using Python software, we calculated the number of SARS-CoV-2 infections per 100,000 adults after the first and second vaccinations as at July 23, 2021, conducted in St. Petersburg, Russian Federation. After the first vaccination with Gam-COVID-Vac (Sputnik V) vaccine, 544 infections were determined, and after the second vaccination -1,643 cases. After the first vaccination with the EpiVacCorona vaccine, 1,600 infections were calculated, and after the second vaccination -6,073 cases. After the first vaccination with CoviVac vaccine, 1,162 infections were determined, and after the second vaccination -886 cases. Cluster analysis revealed the similarity of epidemiological indicators due to Gam-COVID-Vac and CoviVac vaccines, with EpiVacCorona vaccine isolated in a separate cluster, which is associated with significant differences in the calculated epidemiological parameters.
