Challenges in ensuring global access to COVID-19 vaccines: production, affordability, allocation, and deployment

Olivier J. Wouters et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic may not end globally until vaccines that protect against severe disease and drive herd immunity are widely distributed. While vaccines have been authorized for human use in many countries, achieving global control of COVID-19 requires not only licensed vaccines but also mass production, affordable pricing, global allocation, and wide local deployment.

Measuring the impact of COVID-19 vaccine misinformation on vaccination intent in the UK and USA

Sahil Loomba et al.

Summary: Recent online misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines has been found to decrease intent to vaccinate among adults in the UK and the USA, particularly among those who were initially willing to get vaccinated.

Malik Sallam

Summary: COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rates are generally high worldwide, but low rates are reported in the Middle East, Russia, Africa, and certain European countries. This could pose a significant challenge in global efforts to control the pandemic. More studies are recommended to address COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in different regions.

Attitude and Behaviors towards SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination among Healthcare Workers: A Cross-Sectional Study from Poland

Bartosz Szmyd et al.

Summary: The study found that Polish healthcare workers are more willing to be vaccinated against COVID-19, but there are concerns about long-term side effects and the impact of depression on vaccination willingness. Positive medical history of recommended vaccinations, fear of infection, and fear of passing on the disease to relatives can strengthen the readiness to be vaccinated, but overall vaccination desire needs to be improved.

Attitudes towards vaccines and intention to vaccinate against COVID-19: Implications for public health communications

Elise Paul et al.

Summary: This study identified predictors of negative attitudes towards vaccines and unwillingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine among UK adults, with low-income groups, those who did not receive a flu vaccine last year, poor adherence to COVID-19 guidelines, female gender, and living with children being the most significant predictors of vaccine refusal. High levels of mistrust in vaccine benefit and concerns about future side effects were the most important determinants of vaccine uncertainty and unwillingness to vaccinate against COVID-19.
