• Medical and public health professionals have cited vaccine hesitancy as a major threat to high vaccine coverage. The term may have different meanings for health care providers, public health professionals, government officials, media members, and various sectors of the public, all of whom see such concepts through different lenses. [...]Brewer and colleagues emphasize in their “Increasing Vaccination Model” social processes including social norms in the community and information sharing [8], and the “Tailoring Immunization Programmes” developed by WHO Regional Office of Europe Region focuses on barriers and motivators to vaccination in susceptible communities (i.e., hesitant communities); not only individual factors but also social, community and cultural factors [9,10]. [...]terms such as “community protection” or “community immunity” may be more agreeable and accurate when describing this concept for the public.
