Vaccine Hesitancy
Vaccine hesitancy describes the uncertainty or refusal to receive vaccines, even when they are readily available. This hesitation can arise from fear, misinformation, cultural norms, or a lack of trust in health systems. As a result, it threatens herd immunity and public health progress. Addressing this issue requires targeted education, transparent communication, and trusted community leadership.
