Publics and Vaccinomics: Beyond Public Understanding of Science

Abstract: Vaccines have been among the most effective tools for addressing global public health challenges. With the advent of genomics, novel approaches for vaccine discovery are opening up new opportunities for vaccine development and applications, particularly with the expectation of personalized vaccines and the possibility of addressing a broader range of infectious diseases. In this context, it is useful to reflect on the social contexts of vaccine development as these have been influenced by social, ethical, poli… Show more

“…In this section, we provide a research agenda aimed at highlighting how the necessary social data can be collected and integrated to better define and implement the EUC. Of course, society is not homogenous and social and behavioural scientists tend to talk of several publics, rather than one public [74]. A research chemist may be a globally respected scientist, a consultant for a multi-national chemical company, a member of a political party as well as an ethnic minority group, a parent, and live in an area where PFAS emissions are high.…”

This knowledge gap dovetailed with Americans’ ideologically charged and divergent views about the existence and severity of climate change [ 48 ] is what motivates our study.…”
