Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Covid-19 and Vaccines Among a New York Haredi-Orthodox Jewish Community

Ellie R. Carmody et al.

Summary: The Haredi Orthodox Jewish community in the US has shown hesitancy towards Covid-19 vaccines, with only 12% of respondents willing to accept it. They trust their physicians and religious leaders for medical information, but have concerns about vaccination compared to natural infection.

If a rabbi did say 'you have to vaccinate,' we wouldn't: Unveiling the secular logics of religious exemption and opposition to vaccination

Ben Kasstan

Summary: Maintaining 'faith' in vaccination has become a public health challenge amid outbreaks of preventable diseases among religious minorities and the outbreak of the coronavirus. Orthodox Jewish parents, while more concerned with safety, trust, and choice similar to 'secular' logics of non-vaccination, mobilized and at times politicized religious frameworks to fit the discourse of 'exemption'. The paper introduces the concept of 'political immunities' to understand how health, law, and religion intersect in contemporary vaccine opposition.

Ethnic differences in SARS-CoV-2 vaccine hesitancy in United Kingdom healthcare workers: Results from the UK-REACH prospective nationwide cohort study

Katherine Woolf et al.

Summary: In the UK, healthcare workers from some ethnic minority groups are more likely to be vaccine hesitant than their White British colleagues. Reasons for hesitancy include lack of trust in government and employers, safety concerns due to the speed of vaccine development, lack of ethnic diversity in vaccine studies, and confusing and conflicting information. Strategies to build trust and dispel myths surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine in these communities are urgently required.

I Took the Trouble to Make Inquiries, So I Refuse to Accept Your Instructions: Religious Authority and Vaccine Hesitancy Among Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Mothers in Israel

Yael Keshet et al.

Summary: Research has shown that while ultra-orthodox Jewish rabbis typically advocate for vaccination, Israeli ultra-orthodox Jewish mothers often make the decision not to vaccinate their children based on their own assessment of risk despite the rabbis' instructions. These mothers' decision-making process is similar to that of mothers in other countries who do not vaccinate their children, and is not influenced by religious reasons. Engaging directly with these mothers and addressing their concerns about risk can help increase vaccination rates in the ultra-orthodox Jewish population.
