  • Immunization against vaccine-preventable diseases not only protects the individual but also has a social benefit. A study now shows that communicating this effect, known as herd immunity, can have a substantial impact on a person's inclination to vaccinate, an insight that could be leveraged in vaccine advocacy.

  • Betsch and colleagues show that vaccination willingness is higher in cultures that focus on collective benefits. For cultures that lack this prosocial cultural inclination, communicating the concept of herd immunity improves willingness to vaccinate.

  • In this study the authors introduce a measure of pandemic fatigue and report the existence of, and changes in, pandemic fatigue during the COVID-19 pandemic. They also identify correlates of pandemic fatigue and show that those who experienced more pandemic fatigue were less likely to adhere to various health-protective behaviors.

  • How people remember various aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including their own behaviour, perception of risk and attitudes towards science and governmental policies, is biased by their perceptions and behaviour today.

  • Polθ helicase is crucial for DNA repair and a target for precision medicine for cancer therapy. Here, the authors reveal the mechanism of action of the small-molecule inhibitor AB25583, and show its high specificity and selective killing of BRCA1/2– cancer cells and synergy with olaparib.

  • Studying the dynamics of electrons is important for understanding fundamental processes in materials. Here the ionization of a pair of electrons in argon atoms is explored on attosecond timescales, offering insight into their correlated emission and the double ionization mechanism.

  • Homologous recombination (HR) gene mutations are thought to be synthetic lethal with DNA polymerase theta (Polθ) inhibition. Here, the authors reveal that Polθ addiction is determined by the functional impact of gene mutations on DNA end resection activity.

  • Behaviour change interventions that are unsuccessful may often be limited by structural constraints. Accumulating evidence across contexts helps to diagnose these barriers. Policymakers should combine structural and behavioural insights to enact systemic reforms to better address environmental and societal challenges.

  • Two surveys of a large cohort of US parents find that concerns about purity and liberty are strongly associated with vaccine hesitancy. This suggests that vaccination campaigns may be more effective by targeting these moral values.

  • Vaccination mandates can increase vaccine uptake, but might cause unintended psychological effects with social and political consequences. In this Review, Schmid et al. present a toolbox of complementary and alternative interventions informed by psychological science to tackle vaccine hesitancy.

  • Maier et al. develop a mathematical model to examine the contributions of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated populations to the wave of SARS-CoV-2 infections in Germany in autumn 2021. They report that the unvaccinated population were the main drivers of transmission and that targeted non-pharmaceutical interventions would likely have mitigated this.
