Combating vaccine fatigue: Study offers actionable steps to boost acceptance Coronavirus Disease COVID SARSCoV2 Fatigue Vaccine VaccineFatigue SciReports univaq univienna LBG_research MedUni_Wien
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Mar 30 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. To date, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 , the causal agent of the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, has claimed more than 6.8 million lives worldwide.
Background When COVID-19 vaccines were initially approved for the general public, clinicians confronted a staggering level of vaccine hesitancy, which substantially decreased vaccination rates. However, over time, the rate of vaccine hesitancy plateaued and eventually reduced. It is imperative to address the problem of vaccine hesitancy or fatigue to prevent serious consequences for the healthcare system. More research is urgently needed to better understand the incidence of COVID-19 vaccine fatigue to formulate effective interventions and ultimately improve booster acceptance across the world.
A survey was conducted in the early summer of 2022 to provide scientific evidence to design more effective vaccination campaigns in the future. The survey results were analyzed to determine whether one-size-fits-all or group-specific features should be considered to reduce vaccine fatigue. Most candidates from Austria and Italy who attended vaccination campaigns received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Community-based vaccination campaigns promoted the importance of being together to overcome the crisis, which effectively enhanced the intention for vaccination in vaccination groups. Notably, making vaccination mandatory and the implementation of other legal rules, such as vaccine passports, undermined trust in the vaccine.
