Week 4 of the shutdown, & PubMed had some disruption in adding records this week. They appear to have recovered on Wednesday, adding over 9,800 records in one day.

However, to be on the safe side, if you have a Plan B for critical searches, maybe start using it...(cont'd in next post)

Chart: New records each day this year during shutdown compared to last year. (Some dip on weekends is normal.)

...My monthly search for Covid vax records at PubMed turned up fewer results than expected, so I started on my Plan B – and I'm finding records that aren't in PubMed. 😔

My Plan B = @OpenAlex + extra Google searches.

(This is time-consuming, so my monthly nextgen Covid vaccine update might be a day late.)

@hildabast
I hope you are okay! I've been watching for your vax posting; I hope it's late because it's time consuming and/or Life Maintenance Activities are getting in the way and not because you are sick. :-(

@hildabast I do look forward to your next gen updates, and I'm so grateful you do them. Sorry it has become harder.
