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.

Molalegn Mesele

Summary: This study aimed to assess the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination and its associated factors in Sodo town, Wolaita zone, Southern Ethiopia. The results indicated a low prevalence of COVID-19 vaccination acceptance, with gender, educational status, mass media influence, childhood vaccination history, family and friends' COVID-19 experiences, and personal COVID-19 testing being significantly associated with vaccine acceptance. In order to increase vaccine acceptance, public education through mass media about the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination should be strengthened by the government and stakeholders.

The Nature and Extent of COVID-19 Vaccination Hesitancy in Healthcare Workers

Nirbachita Biswas et al.

Summary: COVID-19 vaccines have been approved for public use globally, but studies show healthcare workers globally exhibit vaccine hesitancy due to concerns about safety, efficacy, and side effects. Males, older individuals, and those with doctoral degrees (i.e., physicians) are more likely to accept vaccines, and factors like perceived risk, patient care involvement, and influenza vaccination history increase vaccine uptake likelihood. Strategies to improve communication, education, and mandates for clinical workers are crucial to address the high prevalence of vaccine hesitancy in healthcare workers. Healthcare workers play a key role in pandemic mitigation, serving as role models for preventive behaviors and facilitating vaccination efforts.

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.
