    Background: Covid-19 vaccination has started in the majority of the countries at the global level. Cancer patients are at high risk for infection, serious illness, and death from COVID-19 and need vaccination guidance and support. Guidance availability in the English language only is a major limit for recommendations' delivery and their application in the world's population and generates information inequalities across the different populations. Methods: Most of the available COVID-19 vaccination guidance for cancer patients was screened and scrutinized by the European Cancer Patients Coalition (ECPC) and an international oncology panel of 52 physicians from 33 countries. Results: A summary guidance was developed and provided in 28 languages in order to reach more than 70 percent of the global population. Conclusion: Language barrier and e-guidance availability in the native language are the most important barriers when communicating with patients. E-guidance availability in various native languages should be considered a major priority by international medical and health organizations that are communicating with patients at the global level.

    Constructing the Healthy Individual in the Early Republic: Pronatalist Policies, Child Health, and Tuberculosis
    (ISTANBUL UNIV, FAC LETTERS, DEPT SOCIOLOGY, 2019-01-01) Rasimoglu, Ceren Gulser Ilikan
    This article studies the issue of population in Turkey during the Early Republican Period by assessing the meanings attributed to children and children's health. The article discusses the approach to public health, wherein pronatalist policies and citizenship education are intertwined, and deliberates the solutions produced for the health problems of the period by focusing on the case of tuberculosis. By examining articles physicians wrote in health propaganda journals of the period, this article discusses how the focus of public health practices transformed in the 20th century, the direction personal hygiene took towards an area of individual responsibility, and how modern medicine was transformed into an unlimited field of intervention.
