Somaliland despite having a weak health system, managed COVID-19 better than some well-resourced countries in the continent by establishing a National Task Force to direct efforts in early detection, surveillance, risk communication and infection control of the virus. The Ministry of Health has been able to garner personnel with medical skills to increase the response workforce and also supervise the activities of medical facilities across the country. However, these measures have shown unfavorable effect on the economy. Somaliland is in active trade with other African countries and neglecting the impact of the virus can greatly affect the trade partner countries. Appropriate relief funds should be offered by capable countries to lessen the economic impact of the pandemic in the country. In the meantime, it is time to reframe the health system of Somaliland and improve sectors that have been underfunded like emergency, intensive care units and the surgical departments.

Coronavirus disease 201 9 (COVID - 1 9 ) vaccination for children over 12 years of age began on May 2021 in the kingdom of Bahrain. Very limited data is available regarding the adverse events related to COVID -19 vaccination in children. This is a case report of a 12-year-old previously healthy boy with acute myopericarditis who presented on day 5 after the first dose of Pfizer COVID - 19 vaccination. Other causes of acute myopericarditis were ruled out. He was treated with non - steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and recovered fully. This case of vaccine-induced myocarditis was reported to the national task force of Bahrain for combating COVID - 19.

Correctional and forensic mental health settings potentially have multiple risk assessment instruments administered on a single client. Because of the various methods of determining risk categories, risk-level consistency can become an issue. The Council of State Governments Justice Center developed a Five-Level System that can be applied to most risk assessment instruments. Using the Level of Service Inventory–Revised and two created risk assessment instruments, the present study assessed if the Five-Level System (vs. normative percentile categories) demonstrated greater agreement between the two instruments, and, if so, the percentage of greater agreement. The Five-Level System demonstrated 4% to 5% greater agreement for both risk-level placement and recidivism rates. The implications of this greater consistency among risk assessment instruments is an increased fairness in making risk-level assignments.
