Understanding vaccine hesitancy in COVID-19
Abstract
Vaccines are one of the greatest medical innovations of all time, but there has been skepticism about them throughout history. Although initial concerns about scarcity increased public demand for COVID-19 vaccines, as supply meets demand, vaccine hesitancy may become a defining theme of the next stage of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Keywords: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2 vaccines; health disparities; vaccine hesitancy; vaccines.
