“…Previous studies have shown the importance of societal disagreements and antivaccine groups mainly associated with vaccine hesitancy or resistance [22][23][24]. This has been the main concern even in our study.…”

Background: The World Health Organization has recommended that individual governments identify vaccine hesitancy areas. It is proposed that the governments, with the aid of local organizations, educate and implement social insights on the vaccination so that high population levels are covered with this safe immune program. Methods: A longitudinal online survey covered 3000 adults from India. We examined the demography, behavioral (socio-economic) attitude, vaccine hesitancy, vaccine resistance for the COVID-19 vaccine. The specific reasons for the COVID-19 vaccine decline were also evaluated. Results: Our survey revealed 59% definite response, 29% low-level response, and 7% high-level response for vaccine hesitancy, while 6% had resistant views on the COVID-19 vaccine. Individuals who had higher income levels, lived in a society, maintained social distancing, had downloaded the COVID-19 update app, showed a positive attitude towards their government, and more confidence in their healthcare system were more inclined towards the vaccination. On the contrary, individuals who had overstated the risks of COVID-19 and had a religious and populistic attitude towards vaccination were more hesitant/resistant to vaccination. The respondents who declined vaccine administration were further evaluated for their specific reason for their response. The most common reasons for declining the COVID-19 vaccine were post-vaccine scare of adverse health effects and accepting the information spread by social media. Conclusions: The results in our study show that by identifying population “hot spots” that have negative or unclear information on the COVID-19 vaccination, these “hot spots” can be addressed by involving friendly organizations that can clear their strong disbeliefs and increase the percentage of vaccine-definite people within the population. The role of government-induced COVID-19 vaccine policy measures can always be beneficial to cause this shift from disbelief to confidence within the population.

“…An informative platform on the immunisation process may also be of great benefit to both the public and HCPs, and suggestions have already been made for the development of a platform similar to the Swiss INFOVAC academic network [ 40 , 41 ]. Such a platform would be a huge outlet for questions on the immunisation process as well as general queries regarding vaccinations, such as previous, non-COVID-19 rollouts and details of existing programmes.…”

The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) first appeared in Wuhan, China in late 2019 and since then has caused unprecedented economic and social disruption as well as presenting a major challenge to public health. Despite mass progress in COVID-19 vaccination uptake, vaccine hesitancy or anti-vax information has been reported that can delay public acceptance of a vaccine. An online cross-sectional survey (n = 439) assessed COVID-19 vaccine uptake and hesitancy in adults in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Participants completed an adapted version of the Theory of Planned Behaviour Vaccine Questionnaire, the Vaccine Attitudes Scale (VAX), Vaccine Confidence Scale, and questions on previous experience of COVID-19. Results showed that 66.7% of the sample intended to get a vaccination as soon as possible, 27.15% reported they will get a vaccine when others get theirs and when it is clear there are no side effects. 6.15% had no intention of getting a vaccine. Overall, there is a high mean intention (M = 6.12) and confidence to get a COVID-19 vaccine. There was low vaccine hesitancy (M = 2.49) as measured by the VAX scale. A further analysis of the sub factors of the VAX showed there is uncertainty and mistrust of side effects for children. The finding demonstrate that the Theory of Planned Behaviour can be useful in making recommendations for public health considerations when encouraging vaccine uptake and reducing vaccine hesitancy.

“…Controvérsias relacionadas a vacinas surgiram na França desde o início da década de 1990 motivadas pela presença de adjuvantes nas vacinas, como no caso do hidróxido de alumínio e a sua suposta ligação com essa enfermidade (Fokoun, 2018). Estão na base de muitos dos argumentos que sustentam os movimentos antivacinas ao vincularem as vacinas a doenças, entretanto, não há consenso ou base científica sólida que sustente que a aplicação de vacinas que contêm alumínio possa representar algum risco para a saúde (WHO, 2008).…”

Resumo Os países europeus estão experimentando uma redução nas taxas de imunização em um momento de expansão dos movimentos antivacinas. Nesse contexto, a mídia pode desempenhar um papel crucial, tanto na difusão de crenças, quanto na circulação de informações confiáveis sobre o tema. Este estudo analisou a cobertura jornalística sobre vacinas na imprensa portuguesa. Foi realizada uma análise de conteúdo em uma amostra de 300 artigos publicados no Diário de Notícias e no Jornal de Notícias de 2012 a 2017. Houve uma predominância de textos relacionados às vacinas contra a gripe, sarampo e meningite. Os temas mais frequentes foram: estoque de vacinas, pesquisa sobre vacinas, cobertura vacinal e campanha de vacinação. A maioria dos artigos apresentou um tom positivo e neutro em relação à imunização. Os jornais colocaram as vacinas em sua agenda midiática, possivelmente influenciados pelas políticas de saúde pública presentes em Portugal. Tais achados reforçam a percepção que a mídia pode ser um instrumento na divulgação de informação confiável sobre o tema. Apesar de o tom negativo ser pouco presente, títulos de notícias com ênfase nas reações adversas das vacinas poderiam contribuir para despertar ou aumentar a desconfiança nos seus benefícios.
