Research briefing: Vaccines, variants, and ventilation<https://www.oclc.org/content/dam/realm/documents/research-briefing-20210923.pdf>
This briefing, prepared by researchers at Battelle, is intended to provide timely information about SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and variants to libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs), and their stakeholders. This is a review of scientific literature published through 6 September 2021, and should be used in conjunction with other timely resources to ensure decision-making in LAMs reflects the latest scientific understanding.

HIGHLIGHTS

  *   Ventilation: A study found that increasing the air change rate decreased infection risk more than increasing the humidity in a space.
  *   Variants: With recent studies highlighting the rapid spread and infectivity of the B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant, researchers suggest that prevention strategies such as wearing masks indoors should be employed regardless of individuals' vaccination status.
  *   Vaccines: Adolescents reported that they are interested in getting the vaccine but have concerns about possible adverse effects.

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged many cultural institutions to reimagine their practices. Partnerships, programming, and services have all shifted to meet the public's new and changing needs. Some of these changes have been temporary, and others are here to stay. Join us as international library, archive, and museum colleagues discuss the operational changes they will be continuing, regardless of pandemic conditions.
