A study on routine vaccine hesitancy in Eastern Europe elucidated potential factors, including conspiracy theories and reduced confidence in medical science and institutions, particularly if combined with low objective vaccine knowledge; these factors likely to contribute to undervaccination observed in Eastern European immigrants in our study.…”

Patients on KRT are prone to the fatal consequences of the sudden interruption of their life-saving treatment during a severe crisis due to multiple factors which include infrastructure damage, water, and electricity supply interruptions, dialysis unit closures, unavailability of disposables due to transport problems, lack of trained dialysis staff, and lack of transportation to reach a dialysis center [6].…”
