Vaccine indecision: myths and refutations

Abstract

The modern healthcare system is facing challenges related to the spread of misinformation about vaccinations and the growing distrust of vaccination among the population. This phenomenon, known as “vaccine hesitancy,” has been recognized by the World Health Organization as one of the main threats to global health. Declining immunization coverage leads to an increase in the incidence of vaccine-preventable infections and makes it difficult to achieve herd immunity. This problem is particularly acute in regions with high levels of social vulnerability and limited access to quality information and healthcare services.
