Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy to Insufficiency in India; A Public Health view on Covid-19 Vaccination in India

Covid 19 Vaccine Hesitancy to Insufficiency

Abstract

Vaccine hesitancy in Covid-19 is one of the topmost global public health threats as per the World Health Organization. India is one of the leading producers of Covid-19 vaccine and started vaccinating its population from 16th January 2021. As expected there is a high prevalence of vaccine hesitancy among the public as well as health care workers. With the second wave of Covid-19, the uptake of vaccine has increased and has resulted in vaccine insufficiency. There is a need to bring out public health strategies to deal with this issue. This article discusses the feasible public health strategies to address this issue at the grass root level.
