| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the complex interplay of psychosocial factors influencing vaccine uptake in the United States, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights that despite significant biomedical advancements in vaccine development, public trust and acceptance remain uneven, shaped by personal beliefs, social influences, and structural inequities. The article emphasizes the need for a shift from disease-centered to person-centered approaches in public health, advocating for community engagement and empathy to rebuild trust in vaccination efforts. It concludes that understanding the emotional and social dimensions of vaccine behavior is crucial for effective public health interventions. [Extracted from the article] |
