Abstract:
Abstract This abstract is a report of the investigations by a transdisciplinary team working on the ‘Vaccine Confidence’ challenge (Supplement 1). Since their introduction, vaccines have been one of the most successful health interventions in medicine. Prior to vaccination programs against poliomyelitis, more than 350,000 cases of polio were reported annually worldwide, a number that decreased to just 33 reported cases in 20181. Additionally, between 2000 and 2017, the measles vaccination program is estimated to have prevented 21.1 million deaths.2 However, in 2018 more than 19 million children under one year of age did not receive the recommended WHO vaccines.3 A recent rise in anti-vaccine or vaccination-hesitant mentalities has led to decreasing vaccine coverage in several Western countries. The WHO identified three C’s as main determinants of vaccine hesitancy, namely Complacency, Convenience in accessing vaccines, and Confidence. However, the term ‘vaccine hesitancy’ tends to be interpreted as a lack of confidence in vaccines and vaccinations for various reasons. Nevertheless, the goal of vaccination is to reach herd immunity by reaching a high vaccination coverage (90‐95% vaccinated) to stop the circulation of vaccine preventable diseases. We wanted to give equal attention to the three C’s as they are equally important in reaching herd immunity. <target target-type="page-num" id="p-116"/>Therefore, we chose to present the problem as a challenge of ‘vaccine coverage,’ rather than ‘vaccine hesitancy’ or ‘vaccine confidence’. In order to understand the complexity of the problem, we have developed a systems map which relates different global factors that impact an individual’s vaccination decision-making, as well as their likelihood of receiving vaccinations (Supplement 2). To create this map we assembled the information for the variables and connections from literature studies of peer-reviewed articles and interviews with stakeholders, kept anonymous, in the field of vaccination or healthcare (Supplements 3 & 4). This approach was selected as it provides a wide perspective that allows academics, governmental authorities, and lawmakers to better assess the various factors that affect vaccine coverage, and how they are related. The work leading to the map was presented to the public at a symposium (Supplement 5). Our map identifies essential factors such as psychology, education, economy, vaccine technology, political and environmental sphere, sources of information, and healthcare in order to understand what governs vaccination coverage. The map emphasizes how various factors and determinants are often interrelated, as opposed to the isolated factors described in previous literature. We identified important discrepancies between developed and developing countries regarding the factors that drive vaccine-related decision-making and availability. The systems map could ultimately serve as a tool to better understand the multifaceted problem of suboptimal vaccination coverage. Vaccine hesitancy as a threat to vaccination coverage is a complex and wicked problem with many underlying contributing factors, as has been depicted in our systems map on vaccine coverage. Our systems map allows more in-depth insights, not only into which factors are contributing, but also into the relationship between factors. Solving the decrease in vaccination coverage will require different types of solutions which can be developed by using a transdisciplinary approach.

Abstract:
As the world tries to cope with the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and emerging variants of the virus, COVID-19 vaccination has become an even more critical tool toward normalcy. The effectiveness of the vaccination program and specifically vaccine uptake and coverage, however, is a function of an individual’s knowledge and individual opinion about the disease and available vaccines. This study investigated the knowledge, attitudes, and resulting community practice(s) associated with the new COVID-19 variants and vaccines in Bangladesh, Colombia, India, Malaysia, Zimbabwe, and the USA. A cross-sectional web-based Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) survey was administered to respondents living in six different countries using a structured and multi-item questionnaire. Survey questions were translated into English, Spanish, and Malay to accommodate the local language in each country. Associations between KAP and a range of explanatory variables were assessed using univariate and multiple logistic regression. A total of 781 responses were included in the final analysis. The Knowledge score mean was 24 (out of 46), Attitude score 28.9 (out of 55), and Practice score 7.3 (out of 11). Almost 65% of the respondents reported being knowledgeable about COVID-19 variants and vaccination, 55% reported a positive attitude toward available COVID-19 vaccines, and 85% reported engaging in practices that supported COVID-19 vaccination. From the multiple logistic models, we found post-graduate education (AOR = 1.83, 95% CI: 1.23–2.74) and an age range 45–54 years (AOR = 5.81, 95% CI: 2.30–14.69) to be significantly associated with reported COVID-19 knowledge. In addition, positive Attitude scores were associated with respondents living in Zimbabwe (AOR = 4.49, 95% CI: 2.04–9.90) and positive Practice scores were found to be associated with people from India (AOR = 3.68, 95% CI: 1.15–11.74) and high school education (AOR = 2.16, 95% CI: 1.07–4.38). This study contributes to the identification of socio-demographic factors associated with poor knowledge, attitudes, and practices relating to COVID-19 variants and vaccines. It presents an opportunity for collaboration with diverse communities to address COVID-19 misinformation and common sources of vaccine hesitancy (i.e., knowledge, attitudes, and practices).

Abstract:
Abstract It is widely acknowledged that vaccine hesitancy is a multifaceted problem that cannot be addressed by a single strategy. Behavior change theories and social media tools may together help to guide the design of interventions aimed at improving vaccination uptake. This systematic review aims to identify the breadth and effectiveness of such theories and tools. The systematic review search was performed in PubMed, Scopus, ACM, Cochrane Library, ProQuest, and Web of Science databases for studies between January 2011 and January 2021 that applied social media tools to increase vaccine confidence or improve vaccination uptake. The literature search yielded a total of 3,065 publications. Twenty articles met the eligibility criteria, 12 of which were theory-based interventions. The result shows that the Health Belief Model was the most frequently deployed theory, and the most common social media tool was educational posts, followed by dialogue-based groups, interactive websites, and personal reminders. Theory-based interventions were generally more measurable and comparable and had more evidence to trigger the positive behavior change. Fifteen studies reported the effectiveness in knowledge gain, intention increase, or behavior change. Educational messages were proved to be effective in increasing knowledge but less helpful in triggering behavior change. Dialogue-based social media intervention performed well in improving people’s intention to vaccinate. Interventions informed by behavior change theory and delivered via social media platforms offer an important opportunity for addressing vaccine hesitancy. This review highlights the need to use a multitheory framework and tailoring social media interventions to the specific circumstances and needs of the target audience in future interventions. The results and insights gained from this review will be of assistance to future studies.

Abstract:
We investigate the relationship between vaccination hesitancy and the way people feel about their national groups. Antivaccination attitudes are associated with conspiracy beliefs, which have been linked to group-based defensiveness. Thus, we hypothesized that defensiveness about one’s national identity, operationalized as collective narcissism measured in relation to one’s national group, might be related to antivaccination attitudes. We found that national narcissism, but not national identification, predicted support for a voluntary vaccination policy both in a general population sample ( N = 361) and among visitors of antivaccination discussion forums ( N = 178). In two further studies involving national quota samples, national narcissism was also related to vaccination conspiracy beliefs ( N = 1,048), and these beliefs mediated its association with support for a voluntary vaccination policy ( N = 811). By highlighting the link between antiscience attitudes and collective narcissism, we demonstrate that group defensiveness can be linked to support for decisions that may undermine the health and well-being of present and future ingroup members.

Abstract:
AbstractThe history of vaccine development has seen many accomplishments, but there are still many diseases that are difficult to target, and new technologies are being brought to bear on them. Past successes have been largely due to elicitation of protective antibodies based on predictions made from the study of animal models, natural infections and seroepidemiology. Those predictions have often been correct, as indicated by the decline of many infections for which vaccines have been made over the past 200 years. However, although vaccines have undoubtedly saved many millions of lives and are heralded as one of the greatest medical inventions of all time, this is also an era of increasing vaccine hesitancy, with surveys suggesting that a large percentage of the population are unsure whether they would opt to receive a vaccine even if one becomes available for even the most virulent pandemic situation. But as age progresses, new variants of infective agents with resistance to primitive methods of immunisations have evolved. Hence, new vaccine technologies able to achieve rapid development as well as large scale production are of pivotal importance. This review emphasises on the history of vaccines, their development through ages, new technologies of vaccination, their adverse effects and homoeopathic viewpoint in the light of vaccinations.

Abstract:
Believing in conspiracy theories is a major problem, especially in the face of a pandemic, as these constitute a significant obstacle to public health policies, like the use of masks and vaccination. Indeed, during the COVID-19 pandemic, several ungrounded explanations regarding the origin of the virus or the effects of vaccinations have been rising, leading to vaccination hesitancy or refusal which poses as a threat to public health. Recent studies have shown that in the core of conspiracy theories lies a moral evaluation component; one that triggers a moral reasoning which reinforces the conspiracy itself. To gain a better understanding of how conspiracy beliefs about COVID-19 affect public health containment behaviors and policy support via morality-relevant variables, we analysed comprehensive data from the International Collaboration on the Social & Moral Psychology (ICSMP) of COVID-19, consisting of 49.965 participants across 67 countries. We particularly explored the mediating role of two levels of morality: individual and group-based morality. Results show that believing in conspiracy theories reduces adoption of containment health-related behaviors and policy support of public health measures, but moral identity and morality-as-cooperation significantly mediate this relationship. This means that beliefs in conspiracy theories do not simply constitute antecedents of cognitive biases or failures, nor maladaptive behaviors based on personality traits, but are morally infused and should be dealt as such. Based on our findings, we further discuss the psychological, moral, and political implications of endorsement of conspiracy theories in the era of the pandemic.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Vacciner har under många år varit en av de största bidragande faktorerna till en god folkhälsa. När många invånare vaccinerar sig skyddas fler mot smittsamma virussjukdomar i samhället. En tveksamhet till vacciner finns trots det hos många människor. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka orsaker till vaccinationstveksamhet hos vuxna. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie genomfördes för att besvara syftet. Tre databaser användes för informationssökning. Innehållet i artiklarna granskades med stöd av kategorisering av åsikter i en tabell. Resultat: Resultatet för litteraturstudien består av fyra kvantitativa artiklar, fem kvalitativa samt en med mixad metod. Fyra kategorier påvisades: brist på kunskap, oro, rädsla och brist på tillit, brist på stöd och attityder och kulturella aspekter. I resultatet framkom ett flertal anledningar till att individer erhöll en tveksamhet till vaccin däribland bristande kunskap och rädsla. Slutsats: Mer forskning krävs för att identifiera åtgärder som sjuksköterskan kan använda sig av i mötet med patienter som är tveksamma till vaccin.
Background: For many years, vaccines have been one of the major contributing factors to good public health. The fact that many people vaccinate provides protection against several viral diseases in society. Nevertheless, there are many people that have doubts about vaccines. Objective: The aim of the literature study was to investigate the causes of vaccination hesitancy with adults. Methods: A general literature study was conducted to answer the purpose. Three databases where used for information retrieval. The content of the articles was examined with the aid off categorization of opinions in a table. Results: The result of the literature study consists of four quantitative articles, five qualitative articles and one with a mixed method. The content of the articles was reviewed, and four categories were identified: lack of knowledge, concerns, fears and lack of trust, lack of support and attitudes and cultural aspects. In the results, there were a number of reasons why individuals hold a doubt towards vaccine, including lack of knowledge and fear. Conclusion: More research is needed to identify actions that the nurse can use when meeting patients with vaccine hesitancy.

Abstract:
The purpose of this project is to develop a clinical practice guideline with recommendations for vaccination and vaccine hesitancy in the pediatric setting. Routine vaccinations are given to children at recommended ages to decrease the incidence of, and prevent infectious disease. These vaccinations prevent diseases such as rotavirus, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, hepatitis B, haemophilus influenza type B, pneumococcal disease, polio, influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella and hepatitis A. There are currently no guidelines that combine evidence-based interventions to increase vaccination rates, the recommended vaccine schedule, specific information on each vaccination, its side effects, and ingredients of each vaccination. By developing this guideline, it is hoped that pediatric providers will be able to effectively approach the caregivers of vaccine-aged children with evidence based information about vaccination, and be able to address specific concerns regarding vaccines. The available literature was formally evaluated using GRADEpro software. These results were put into the BRIDGE-Wiz (Building Recommendations in a Developer ’s Guideline Editor) software to create clear, concise, key action statements for the guideline. There were five recommendations that were created based on the literature review which include assessing parental concerns regarding vaccination at each visit, educating parents on vaccination, each vaccine, at each visit and when concerns arise, recommending vaccinations during each visit and when the opportunity arises, recommending pre-scheduling vaccination appointments, and implementing a reminder/recall system when vaccinations are due or past due. There were also informational tables created for provider reference that include important information regarding vaccines. The first table includes each vaccination, the disease it prevents, and the risk of the disease vs the risk of the vaccination. The second table includes the vaccine ingredients that commonly cause concern, and information to address those concerns. The guideline can be used in pediatric primary care to guide interventions to increase the uptake of vaccinations, and as a tool for providers to use while educating parents on specific vaccinations. The guideline was formally evaluated using the AGREE II tool by three experts in the field of pediatric primary care. All three of the reviewers stated that they would recommend the guideline for use in the pediatric setting.

Abstract:

Vaccinations are among the greatest accomplishments of public health. However, many parents are choosing not to vaccinate. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between social media influence and parents’ decisions to vaccinate their children. The health belief model indicates that individuals’ likelihood of engaging in a health-related behavior is determined by their perceptions of susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers. The research questions addressed whether there is an association between parents’ perception of their children’s disease susceptibility and their decisions about vaccination, and whether there is an association between exposure to messaging from social media and parents’ decision to vaccinate. A quantitative, cross-sectional research design was used. The primary dependent variable was vaccination choices, and the primary independent variable was exposure to information about vaccination through social media. Data were gathered through a questionnaire administered to 269 White parents residing in Illinois with their own children between the ages of 0 and 18 years living with them. Binomial logistic regression showed that there was not a statistically significant relationship between parents’ perception of disease susceptibility and vaccination choice or between parents’ vaccination choice and exposure to online antivaccine advertisements. These study findings help in defining an overall picture of vaccine hesitancy in the United States. By focusing on the predictors of this behavior, it may be possible to implement interventions to combat the antivaccine movement with the goal of increasing vaccine compliance among parents.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Vaccinationstäckning är ett av de viktigaste och mest kostnadseffektiva sättet att förbättra den globala folkhälsan. Trots det uppfattas vacciner som osäkert och onödigt av allt fler individer. Försämrad vaccinationstäckning påverkar flockimmuniteten med ökad risk för nya sjukdomsutbrott och epidemier. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka och sammanställa den vetenskapliga litteraturen om vilka faktorer som påverkar vårdnadshavarnas beslut att vaccinera eller inte vaccinera sina barn mot mässling-påssjuka-röda hund (MPR). Metod: Systematisk litteraturöversikt där totalt tio vetenskapliga artiklar ligger till grund för resultatet. The Health Belief Model har använts som teoretisk utgångspunkt. Resultat: Flera faktorer var viktiga för föräldrars beslut om vaccination. Fem faktorer identifierades som påverkar föräldrar att inte vaccinera sina barn: att föredra naturlig immunisering, rädsla för biverkningar, rädsla för vaccinet, misstro till myndigheter och förebygga sjukdom genom livsstil. Fyra faktorer som påverkar föräldrar att låta vaccinera sina barn identifierades: att undvika sjukdom, värna om flockimmunitet, fördelar överväger nackdelar samt kunskap och information om sjukdomarna och vaccinet. I resultatet identifierades också ett bifynd, att låta barnets immunsystem mogna innan vaccination. Både föräldrar som vaccinerade och inte vaccinerade sina barn tyckte att det fanns för lite information om vaccinet och dess biverkningar. Slutsats: Flera faktorer påverkar föräldrars beslut om vaccination för sina barn mot MPR. Både föräldrar som vaccinerar och inte vaccinerar sina barn tycker informationen om vaccin och dess biverkningar är för knapphändig och svårtillgänglig. Det är viktigt som sjuksköterska att ha kunskap om vilka faktorer som påverkar föräldrars beslut för att kunna bemöta föräldrars oro och bistå med adekvat och evidensbaserad information.
Background: Vaccination coverage is one of the most important and cost-effective ways to improve global health. Despite this more and more people feel uncertain about vaccinations. Impaired vaccination coverage affects the herd immunity and leads to an increased risk of disease outbreaks and epidemics. Aim: The aim of this study was to examine which factors influence parents’ decisions regarding vaccination of their children against measles-mumps-rubella (MMR). Method: A systematic review where the result is based on ten scientific articles. The Health Belief Model was used as theoretical framework. Results: Several factors were important for the decision to vaccinate or not. Five factors were identified among parents not vaccinating: to prefer natural immunization, fear of side effects, fear of the vaccine, mistrust in the authorities and prevent disease through lifestyle. While four factors were identified among parents vaccinating: to prevent disease, to protect the herd immunity, the advantages outweigh disadvantages, and knowledge and information about the disease and the vaccine. In addition, the finding, to let the child's immune system mature before vaccination was identified. Both parents who accept vaccination and parents who decline vaccination of their children considered the information about the vaccine inadequate. Conclusion: Several factors influence parents’ decision regarding vaccination of their children against MMR. Both parents who accept vaccination and parents who decline vaccination of their children consider the information about the vaccine and its side effects too scant and difficult to access. It's important that nurses have knowledge about factors that influence parents' decisions in order to respond to their concerns and provide appropriate and evidence-based information.

Abstract:
Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the world and there are over 100 different varieties. Several of the varieties can lead to cancer. Although there are vaccines available, the vaccine coverage varies in the providing countries. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe aspects that make guardians choose to refrain from giving their children HPV-vaccines. Method: This Literature study is based on nine qualitative articles published between 2010 and 2020 and the articles were found in Cinahl and PubMed. Results: Guardians who refrained from the HPV-vaccine to their adolescents mentioned varied aspects. Some guardians were concerned about side effects of the vaccine and others mention a lack of knowledge and information about HPV and the vaccine. Guardians expressed concerns about vaccinating against sexually transmitted infections with their adolescents. A varied confidence in health care staff was mentioned by the guardians and they sought information from more unreliable sources such as stories from friends and family or the internet. The fact that HPV-vaccine only was provided to girls, in many of the countries, was a reason for the guardian’s skepticism. Conclusion: The result showed that there are various aspects that make guardians refrain from HPV-vaccine. Some reasons are more common in certain countries. Today's society is multicultural, which leads to a need for more studies to be done from an international perspective. Being able to meet the guardian’s various needs for information about HPV-vaccine is essential to get a higher HPV-vaccine coverage in the world.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Vaccinationer räknas till sjukvårdens mest effektiva hälsoåtgärd och räddar cirka 1.5 miljoner liv årligen. Trots möjligheten att utnyttja vaccin väljer somliga att inte vaccineras. Detta fenomen kallas för vaccintveksamhet är ett av de tio största hoten mot den globala folkhälsan. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva vilka motiv som leder till att föräldrar är tveksamma till att vaccinera sina barn. Metod: En allmän litteraturstudie med en deskriptiv design genomfördes. En litteratursökning utfördes i databaserna Cinal och Pubmed, vilket resulterade i elva kvalitativa studier som var relevanta för denna studies syfte. Travelbees omvårdnadsteori användes som teoretisk referensram. Resultat: Resultaten från artiklarna presenterades i 6 olika teman: oro gällande vaccinets säkerhet, misstro till myndigheter, påverkan av social miljö och normer, naturlig immunisering och sjukdomars allvarlighetsgrad och hälsosam livsstil. Föräldrar ifrågasatte vaccinets säkerhet och upplevde otillräcklig information från myndigheter. En del påverkades av samhällets normer. Somliga ansåg att en naturlig immunisering var att föredra och en del trodde att sjukdomarna var ofarliga. Vissa ansåg att en hälsosam livsstil gav ett tillräckligt skydd mot sjukdomarna. Slutsats: Föräldrarnas tveksamhet till att vaccinera sina barn grundas huvudsakligen i en ofullständig förståelse för vaccinets säkerhet och effektivitet. Många kände misstro till sjukvården och föredrog naturlig immunisering framför vaccinering. Den ofullständiga förståelsen bottnade i många fall i informationsbrist och resulterade i att föräldrar kände oro inför vaccin. Sjuksköterskan har en viktig roll i att inta god handlingsberedskap och att i vårdmötet säkerställa att föräldrarna ges förutsättningar att förstå nyttan och nödvändigheten med vaccin.
Background: Vaccine is one of the most effective tools to prevent diseases and saves around 1,5 million lives yearly. Despite access to vaccines, some individuals choose to not vaccinate. This phenomenon known as vaccine hesitancy, is one of the ten biggest threats to global public health. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the motives behind parents’ hesitancy to vaccinate their children. Method: A litterature study with a descriptive design was performed. A literature search was conducted using Cinahl and PubMed databases, leading to eleven qualitative studies relevant to the purpose of this study. Travelbee's nursing theory was used as a theoretical model. Results: The results from all articles are presented in six themes: Concerns regarding the vaccine’s safety, Distrust of authorities, Impact of social environment and norms, Natural immunization and disease severity and Healthy lifestyle. Parents questioned the safety of the vaccine and experienced lack of information from authorities. Some were influenced by norms of the society. Multiple parents considered that a natural immunization was preferable to the actual diseases. Several believed that a healthy lifestyle would provide enough protection against the diseases. Conclusion: Parents hesitancy to vaccinate their children are mainly based on an incomplete understanding of the vaccine's safety and effectiveness. The incomplete understanding was due to a lack of information which led parents to worry about the vaccine. The nurse has an important role in taking good action readiness and to ensure that parents are given the conditions to understand the benefit and necessity of the vaccine.

Background:Vaccinating children is cost effective and important for public health. In Sweden, the high vaccine coverage is reflected by the public trust in vaccinations. However, vaccine hesitancy is a growing challenge worldwide. According to the WHO, vaccine hesitancy is one of the top ten threats to public health in the world today. Registered nurses have a key role for vaccinations, especially in providing information to parents. Aim:The aim was to examine why some children do not get vaccinated at the child care center and what strategies registered nurses use when responding to parents that are opposed or hesitant towards vaccines. Method: Semi structured interviews was undertaken with 12 registered nurses experienced in discussing vaccine safety with parents. Data was analyzed with inductive content analysis. Results:The analysis resulted in six categories and 11 subcategories. Reasons for doubt or hesitancy to vaccines were that consequences of the diseases were forgotten, parents felt worried about how the vaccine affected the child, and lack of trust. Basic strategies that were used to address parents were based on evidence-based information. It enabled trust in the registered nurse and the vaccine that was offered. Conclusion:InSweden,the normis tovaccinatechildren,somethingthatshouldnotbetakenforgranted. Theregistered nursecanatanearlystageprovideevidence-based informationtoparentsatthe child care centersandtherebyprovideknowledgeofthevaccine's health-promotingbenefits.This canpreventdoubtsabout vaccinations andgetmorechildrenvaccinated.
Bakgrund:Barnvaccinationer är kostnadseffektivt och har stor betydelse för folkhälsan. I Sverige är täckningsgraden hög och förtroendet för vaccin stort. Dock är tveksamhet till vaccin ett växande problem globalt. Enligt WHO är tveksamhet till vaccin ett av de tio största hoten för hälsa i världen idag. Sjuksköterskan har en nyckelroll i avseendet att vaccinera barn och ge information till föräldrar. Syfte:Syftet var att undersöka varför vissa barn inte blir vaccinerade på BVC, samt vad BHV-sjuksköterskor har för strategier att bemöta föräldrars motstånd eller tveksamhet till vaccin.  Metod:Semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med 12 barnhälsovårdssjuksköterskor som hade erfarenhet av att bemöta föräldrar kring frågor om vaccin. Analysmetod var induktiv innehållsanalys. Resultat:Ur analysen framkom sex kategorier och 11 underkategorier. Anledningar till tveksamhet eller motstånd till vaccin var att konsekvenserna av sjukdomarna glömts bort, att föräldrarna kände oro för hur vaccinet påverkade barnet samt brist på förtroende. Grundstrategier som BHV-sjuksköterskorna använde för att bemöta föräldrarna utgick från god evidensbaserad information. Det möjliggjorde högt förtroende för sjuksköterskan och det vaccin som erbjöds. Slutsats:I Sverige är det norm att vaccinera barn, något som inte bör tas för givet. Sjuksköterskan kan i ett tidigt skede ge evidensbaserad information till samtliga föräldrar på BVC och därigenom ge kunskap om vaccinets hälsofrämjande fördelar. Det kan förebygga tveksamhet till vaccinationer och få fler barn att vaccineras.

Abstract:
Human infants are highly dependent on their parents for a prolonged period of time. The resources required to raise a child cannot be provided by biological parents alone and requires the assistance of others, usually relatives. Grandparents among them, have played the most significant role. With increased life expectancy in Western, educated, industrialised, rich and democratic (WEIRD) societies, grandparents have come to the forefront as informal childcare providers. Although the influence of a child’s social environment on health has been well-studied, the influence of grandparents, specifically in regard to breastfeeding remains inconclusive, while grandparental influence on paediatric vaccinations has not been investigated. Using an exploratory mixed-method research design this study investigated the perceived influence of grandparents on parents’ breastfeeding behaviour and paediatric vaccination uptake in Perth, Western Australia. Focus group discussions were conducted to collect exploratory data on the beliefs, attitudes and perceived sources of influence on parents and grandparents towards breastfeeding and paediatric vaccines. Qualitative data was collected from Australian Aboriginal (N=15) and non-Aboriginal participants (N=73). Interpretative phenomenological data analysis revealed different themes for Aboriginal and non- Aboriginal participants. Although both groups reported positive beliefs and attitudes towards breastfeeding, Aboriginal grandmothers reported having a direct and positive influence on breastfeeding behaviour in young Aboriginal mothers. The influence of grandparents on non-Aboriginal parents’ breastfeeding behaviour was not always positive. The participants also shared positive beliefs and attitudes towards paediatric vaccines. Grandparents expressed full confidence in paediatric vaccines based on their memories of the diseases. Parents who had been vaccinated as children accepted immunisation as a normal part of child rearing. This data then informed the development of a questionnaire to quantitatively assess perceived grandparental influence. Data from mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers (N=278) were analysed to test the effects of beliefs, attitudes and perceived sources of influence on breastfeeding behaviour and paediatric vaccine uptake. The study sample was typical of WEIRD societies and reported high levels of educational qualifications and income. Positive attitude scores did not have a significant effect on breastfeeding behaviour in parents or grandparents. This suggested the influence of external factors such as physiological challenges to breastfeeding, physical ecology of the mother and the attitudes towards formula feeding. Maternal grandmothers did report offering the most advice regarding breastfeeding. However, the type of advice imparted and the effect of the advice on breastfeeding behaviour could not be discerned from this data. This cohort reported good knowledge on the benefits of paediatric vaccines and positive group influences and had low scores on vaccine anxiety. This was reflected by high confidence levels on the information available to them and the protection conferred to their children by vaccines. Grandparents who had high scores on knowledge and positive group influence reported they would advise their children on vaccinations for grandchildren. Less than 2% of the study sample scored high on vaccine anxiety and reported vaccine refusal and lack of confidence, which limited the study of whether grandparents could positively influence vaccine hesitant parents. The quantitative study sample is not representative of the average population which restricts generalisation of the findings. The precise nature of grandparents’ influence on parents’ infant feeding and paediatric vaccines need further exploration among the different cultural groups. Education, income levels and cultural and traditional child care practices are likely to have the most influence on the relationship between parents and grandparents, and consequently the extent to which grandparents’ opinions are valued and accepted in relation to breastfeeding and paediatric vaccinations decisions

Abstract:
AbstractThe authors examine, in great detail, issues related to vaccine development, production, and distribution in India. They discuss the problems related to logistics for reaching vaccines to India’s large population. The role of international organizations engaged in vaccine development, procurement, and distribution is discussed.The development of vaccines for COVID-19 within a ten-month period has been an extraordinary achievement given that in the past it has taken 10–15 years to develop a vaccine. Of the seventy vaccine candidates currently in the pipeline globally, four are available for use. Currently, five vaccine candidates are in different stages of development in India.India is acknowledged globally to have a robust capacity for developing vaccines. India has also had a long history in organizing and implementing immunization programs for pregnant women and children. However, organizing a national vaccination program for COVID-19 is challenging because of India’s large population and fragile health infrastructure.India rolled-out the COVID-19 vaccination program in January 2021. The state governments have developed plans for the storage and distribution of the vaccine and for the implementation of the vaccination program. Important elements within the program are communications and advocacy that aim to inform the people about the vaccine and its benefits and to encourage them to get vaccinated so that the problem of vaccine hesitancy, a major deterrent, can be prevented.India and the world are at a critical juncture in the history of the pandemic where the availability of the vaccine shows a glimmer of hope—a light at the end of a dark tunnel.

Abstract:
AbstractTo optimize engagement of Latino communities in cancer research, University of Southern California researchers are working with communities on prevention of cervical cancer, a highly preventable and treatable disease. Two recent studies from their signature initiatives, Es Tiempo and Tamale Lesson, are presented to illustrate the situation in the Latino community regarding the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and cervical cancer screening. These population-based studies included promotores de salud (lay community health workers) and community members who were engaged from conceptualization, recruitment, translation, cultural adaptation, information dissemination, and other important aspects of the research. A third exploratory effort used virtual reality as a research tool to better understand vaccine hesitancy, especially among boys and explored end-of-life quality improvements for immigrant Latino populations. These studies serve as a backdrop for discussing common strategies to increase participation in cancer research in key areas such as information delivery, consultation with stakeholders and partners, and collaboration with community opinion leaders. Strategies are discussed, which optimize engagement in cancer research, stimulate communication, and empower participants to engage in research. These strategies shape attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, improving outcomes for Latinas at risk of cervical and other HPV-related cancers.

Abstract:
The influence of social media on vaccine hesitant users is concerning, as it most often negatively affects the decision about vaccination of oneself and their children, encourages the spread of misinformation and leads to the endangerment of the population. Giving all the potential that the online sphere obtains, this work is meant to bring awareness of the issues caused by social media regarding anti-vaccination and encourage closer monitoring of such content in order to battle hesitancy. The territory of interest for this research is European Union, as despite its unsullied prior record, the most recent data has been showing outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases due to insufficient vaccination coverage rates. (European Commission, 2016) Analyzing European vaccination data and patterns, EU-focused academic researches and literature and social media presence of the “anti-vax” campaigns, the work brings up the prospects and suggestions for the possible solutions to the problem.

Abstract:
It has been over a year since the first laboratory-confirmed case of the Coronavirus -19 disease (COVID-19) was detected in the United States. Since then, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, there have been over 31, 023,000 citizens diagnosed with the disease, resulting in over 560,315 deaths. Although the rate of citizens being diagnosed with the virus as well as the number of deaths has slowed down since the use of the vaccine, there are still concerns regarding sections of communities and various minority groups who are resistant to obtaining the vaccines. Vaccines first became available in November 2020 in response to this pandemic, but distribution issues and problems with compliance soon became evident and demonstrated an extreme gap in health disparities. As of March 31, 2021, the Kaiser Family Foundation reported that in the District of Columbia, African Americans (AA) make up 46% of the population but 45% of the infected cases as compared to whites who make up 31% of the population but only 26% of the infected cases. Anecdotally, it has been reported that AA nurses are hesitant to obtain the COVID-19 vaccine for a variety of reasons, including fear and mistrust of the medical community. The purpose of this pilot study was to survey a small group of AA nurses to refine a tool that will be used to obtain information on factors contributing to their hesitancy to obtain the COVID-19 vaccination. A secondary purpose is to create educational tools that would be effective in developing messages targeting the concerns of African American nurses.

Abstract:
Religious minority affiliation or status can play a very important role in influencing people's access to vaccines as well as their willingness to undergo vaccination. Many studies focus on class, ethnicity and geographic location when examining how social inequalities impact vaccination programmes. However, religious marginality is often overlooked. Here we explore how being situated on the margins, on account of religious affiliation, shapes experiences of vaccine access and uptake. The issues addressed are important for COVID-19 vaccination roll out, but also contain lessons for all vaccination programmes and many other preventative health measures. In this brief, we present key considerations for addressing differentials in access to and willingness to undergo vaccinations that are linked to religious minority status, experiences, authorities or doctrine. We explain why the study and awareness of religious marginality is crucial for the success of vaccination programmes broadly and specifically as they apply to COVID-19 vaccination. We also explore ways in which religious marginality intersects with other identity markers to influence individual and community access to vaccines. Finally, we examine vaccine hesitancy in relation to religious minorities and outline approaches to community health engagement that are socio-religiously sensitive, as well as practical, to enhance vaccination confidence.

Full text
Abstract:
Despite progress in COVID-19 vaccination rates overall in Cleveland, vaccine inequity persists as young people from minoritised communities are often less likely to be vaccinated. Despite being over-represented in COVID-19 case counts and fatalities, Black residents were under-represented in COVID-19 vaccination during the first year and half of the pandemic. In Ohio, while roughly 60% of Cuyahoga County residents are fully vaccinated, just 45% of Cleveland residents are fully vaccinated. Lower-income, majority Black, east side neighbourhoods have markedly lower vaccination rates compared to higher-income, mostly white neighbourhoods. Young people ages 16-40 became eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine on March 29th, 2021, and individuals aged 12 and above were able to get vaccinated from May 2021 onward. However, large disparities exist based age, race, and zip code. This brief illustrates underlying reasons shaping COVID-19 vaccine attitudes among minority (especially Black and Latinx) youth (ages 12-18) and offers key considerations for how young people can be better engaged within Cleveland, Ohio. This brief is based on research, including in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 61 young people across 16 neighbourhoods through a Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) approach in Cleveland to contextualise youth perspectives of COVID-19 vaccination and highlight areas of hesitancy and confidence. In this brief, we share findings from the study and key considerations for addressing youth ‘vaccine hesitancy’ around the COVID-19 vaccine are presented.

Abstract:
This note provides insights into understanding and combating vaccine hesitancy in the Caribbean. We draw on both qualitative and quantitative evidence stemming from IDB analytical and operational work. First, a household survey implemented in Belize in 2021 finds that lack of trust in vaccines and fear of side effects are among the main reasons given by the people that had not yet received the COVID-19 vaccine. Second, we evaluate the correlation between five behaviorally informed campaigns and vaccine uptake and digital engagement (clicks, emojis) and the effect of randomizing the framing of messages within one of such campaigns. We find that messages about COVID-19 vaccine safety and positive framing of side effects were associated with better outcomes. Finally, we describe how these insights are used in vaccination campaigns in Barbados.

Abstract:
Despite overall progress in COVID-19 vaccination rates in Cleveland, vaccine inequity persists as young people from minority communities are often less likely to be vaccinated. COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is not just an issue of misinformation or lack of information. Vaccine hesitancy among young people is reflective of wider issues such as mistrust in the state or the medical establishment and negative experiences during the pandemic. This report is based on case study research conducted among minority youth (ages 12-18) in Cleveland, Ohio. While public discourse may label young people as “vaccine hesitant,” we found that there were hesitation differences based on social location and place. We found the greatest vaccine hesitancy among older youth (15+ years old), particularly those from minoritized communities. Unvaccinated youth were also more likely to be from families and friend groups that were unvaccinated. While some expressed distrust of the vaccines, others reported that COVID-19 prevention was not a priority in their lives. Instead, concerns over food security, livelihood, and education take precedence. Minority youth were more likely to report negative experiences with authorities, including teachers at their schools and police in their communities. Our findings demonstrate that COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is embedded in a context that drives relationships of mistrust between minority communities and authorities, with implications for COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Young people’s attitudes toward vaccines are further patterned by experiences within their community, school, family, and friend groups.

Abstract:
Despite progress in COVID-19 vaccination rates overall in the US and UK, vaccine inequity persists as young people from minoritised and/or deprived communities are often less likely to be vaccinated. COVID-19 ‘vaccine hesitancy’ is not just an issue of misinformation or lack of information. ‘Vaccine hesitancy’ among young people is reflective of wider issues such as mistrust in the state or the medical establishment and negative experiences during the pandemic. This report is based on case study research conducted among young people (ages 12-18) in Cleveland, Ohio, US and the London borough of Ealing, UK. Whilst public discourse may label young people as ‘vaccine hesitant,’ we found that there were differences based on social location and place and this labelling may portray young people as ‘ignorant.’ We found the greatest vaccine hesitancy among older youth (15+ years old), particularly those from minoritised and deprived communities. Unvaccinated youth were also more likely to be from families and friend groups that were unvaccinated. While some expressed distrust of the vaccines, others reported that COVID-19 prevention was not a priority in their lives, but instead concerns over food security, livelihood, and education take precedence. Minoritised youth were more likely to report negative experiences with authorities, including teachers at their schools and police in their communities. Our findings demonstrate that COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is embedded in a context that drives relationships of mistrust between minoritised and deprived communities and the state, with implications for COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Young people’s attitudes toward vaccines are further patterned by experiences within their community, school, family, and friend groups.

This report is based on case study research conducted among minority youth (from ages 12-19) in the London borough of Ealing. While public discourse may label young people as “vaccine hesitant,” we found that there were differences based on social location and place. We found the greatest vaccine refusal among older youth (15+ years old), which in the context of this study were from minoritised communities who have experienced deprivation across the life course. Unvaccinated youth were also more likely to be from families and friend groups that were unvaccinated. While some expressed distrust of the vaccines, others reported that COVID-19 prevention was not a priority in their lives, but instead concerns over food security, livelihood, and education take precedence. Minoritised youth were more likely to report negative experiences with authorities, including teachers at their schools and police in their communities.
