Vaccine hesitancy continues to be an issue in the U.S., with COVID continually bringing this topic to light. But it’s not just about the COVID vaccine. Childhood vaccine rates continue to decrease in certain areas of the country, setting us up for formerly eradicated diseases to make a comeback.
What is Vaccine Hesitancy?
• Refers to delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccines despite
availability of vaccine services.
• Is complex and context specific varying across time, place
and vaccines.
• Is influenced by factors such as complacency, convenience
and confidence.
