Abstract

Vaccination is one of the most effective public health interventions, saving millions of lives globally each year. However, in recent decades, there has been a growing trend of vaccine hesitancy and resistance in many parts of the world. Understanding the complex factors that shape perceptions and attitudes towards vaccination is crucial for developing effective strategies to address this challenge.

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the key issues surrounding vaccination perceptions and attitudes. It begins by examining the historical context, tracing the rise of modern vaccines and the emergence of anti-vaccination movements. The paper then delves into the multifaceted factors that influence vaccination attitudes, including individual characteristics, social and community influences, and systemic-level barriers.

Keyphrases: Public health implications, Resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases, Vaccination attitudes, Vaccine resistance, vaccine hesitancy
