Empathy key in tackling vaccine hesitancy, researchers say

According to a new editorial, vaccine hesitancy could seriously threaten efforts to stop the pandemic. The editorial blames vaccine hesitancy on the controversy, misinformation, a lack of confidence surrounding vaccine trial data, anxiety about vaccine safety, and historical mistrust of the medical establishment due to current or past negative treatment. They also state that there are also important differences between people who are vaccine hesitant versus people who are anti-vaccine or “anti-vaxx,” referring to definitions of anti-vaxxers as activists who deliberately spread misinformation. Health experts must communicate vaccine information with more empathy and address all vaccine questions or concerns without prejudice or bias.

Can AstraZeneca dispel doubts about its shots?

Can AstraZeneca dispel doubts about its shots? With the company caught up in murky data releases and public relations misfires, experts worry that the world may turn its back on a vaccine that still holds promise for combating the pandemic. ByLinda Marsa The AstraZeneca shot was supposed to be the vaccine for a couple of billion people. It is inexpensive at just a couple of dollars per dose and can be stored in an ordinary fridge unlike the mRNA vaccines. But after reports the shot may trigger a rare side effect, and the company’s string of communication blunders, public health officials worry that the people in some countries may have lost faith in the world’s most important vaccine.
