“…However, this happens only if the majority of other people get vaccinated as well. Moreover, compared to other vaccines against well-known diseases, newly developed vaccines could be perceived as less trustworthy and misinformation around COVID-19 may further undermine vaccination intentions (Loomba et al, 2021;Freeman et al, 2021;Kaplan & Milstein, 2021;Dodd et al, 2020;Gozum, 2021). This combination of personal costs and social benefits suggests that vaccination also has a prosocial value (Betsch et al, 2015;Korn et al 2020).…”

Cooperation is essential to overcome global pandemics and other health crises, as many preventative measures require people to bear a personal cost to benefit other people or society as a whole. Wearing a face mask, for example, protects other people more than it protects oneself. In this essay, we discuss several mechanisms that are known to promote cooperation in economic games and real-world scenarios, with a special focus on message-based interventions that might be helpful to promote social distancing, mask wearing, physical hygiene, vaccine uptake, and information seeking. Lessons learned and future research ideas are offered.

“…It is necessary to improve the performance incentive mechanism of local pandemic prevention and control to improve the responsibility and attention of local officials, while actively carrying out audits of the whole process and policy evaluations of pandemic prevention and control. This will give full play to the role of elites in pandemic prevention and control (25)(26)(27). Third, there are various research methods for pandemic prevention and control, according to the multiple participants involved.…”

It is of great reference significance for broadening the research perspective of pandemic governance, improving the efficiency of pandemic governance and the credibility of the government, to scientifically measure and analyze the public medical and health system costs. This article takes the typical case “pandemic prevention and control event of S city, China” as the research background. First, the concept of public medical and health system costs during pandemic governance is defined. Then, the public medical and health system costs are embedded into the pandemic governance system, and the generation process of the public medical and health system costs in the actual situation are investigated. Furthermore, through in-depth interview, multi-case grounded theory and fuzzy subordinate function analysis, the scientific construction of the public medical and health system cost index system are completed. Finally, based on G1 method/entropy method combined with weighting and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, the public medical and health system costs of the pandemic prevention and control events of S city is measured. The results show the following: (1) it is important that good single dimensions and reliable indicators are embodied in the public medical and health system costs scale. Among them, the behavioral public medical and health system costs of the masses is the largest proportion of all indicators; (2) after the pandemic prevention and control event is over, the public medical and health system cost are difficult to repair, and some lagging ideas and behaviors shown by local governments lead to a continuous expansion of the public medical and health system costs associated with pandemic governance; and (3) local governments should not conceal information asymmetry. Instead, local governments should give greater freedom to other actors to deal with pandemic governance, and governance entities should cooperate with each other. This will mitigate the effect of public medical and health system costs. Corresponding policy recommendations are proposed.

“…Thus, state officials are asked to establish public trust in their constituents, that their vaccination programs could be one of the solutions to end the pandemic. In order to achieve this, common good, public service 56 and transparency 57 must be evident in our government officials as they aim to establish public trust among citizens. In this manner, the state has to be a role model for its people to prove that the vaccination program could be the possible solution to end the pandemic.…”

Background This research investigates different approaches by cultural, religious and political groups in ensuring public health during the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, several methods were done by governments and healthcare institutions to mitigate the spread of the virus. Methods This study uses content analysis, specifically a literature review, on existing online literature found in online journals, books, and reports relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper presents the available qualitative data including substantive findings as well as theoretical and methodological foundations relevant to the topic. Results Culture, religion and the state have roles to play in ensuring public health during the COVID-19 pandemic. These three areas can help in mitigating the transmission of the virus, managing patients, and aiding the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines. Conclusion This paper ends by suggesting that, in ensuring public health during the COVID-19 pandemic, a multidisciplinary approach, involving a concerted effort among culture, religion and the state, is necessary. This approach is also recommended for any public health crisis in the future.
