As you know, all new publications provide research-related findings on COVID-19 and CHILD health (from neonates to adolescents) and MATERNAL health (especially, but not exclusively, pregnancy-related issues, women’s health), INFANT AND BREASTFEEDING and NUTRITION related to women and children. This week, several articles discussed the impact of disrupted vaccination programs, putting children at risk worldwide.

We also have a Specific repository only on COVID-19, Breastfeeding, Infant Feeding, and Breast Milk. The last update for that was 8 October.
Lastly, we want to stress that it is easy to find the publication of your interest by just using the search option in the ‘month file’ and type in your topic of interest (using Ctrl F keys).
