Earlier this week, our Health Affairs Today newsletter featured a guest essay by Kate Diaz Vickery and Tyler Winkelman, primary care physicians who codirect the Health, Homelessness & Criminal Justice Lab at Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute.

Vickery and Winkelman expanded on their June Health Affairs paper, "COVID-19 Vaccination Of People Experiencing Homelessness And Incarceration In Minnesota."

In this paper, the authors used data from a statewide public health–health system collaboration to describe trends in COVID-19 vaccination rates by racial and ethnic groups among people experiencing homelessness or incarceration in Minnesota.

The takeaway from that research: rates of vaccination for people experiencing homelessness or incarceration in jail remain too low, especially for COVID-19 boosters.

In Health Affairs Forefront, Chelsea Clinton and Katelyn Yoo argue that COVAX is not sufficient to vaccinate the world and its failures are the failures of a global health paradigm which relies on charity rather than solidarity, elevating the concept of response over building resilience.

And Henry Aaron describes the decision by the Washington State legislature to delay implementation of WA Cares as not a confession of failure, but a prudent action to give time to implement modifications to correct genuine problems in the original legislation.

In an episode of This Week, Health Affairs' Leslie Erdelack and Vabren Watts discuss the FTC's probe of pharmacy benefit managers and how vertical integration and consolidation may affect patients and health care consumers.
