Vaccine hesitancy refers to the reluctance or refusal to vaccinate despite the availability of vaccines. It can stem from a variety of factors, including concerns about vaccine safety and effectiveness, distrust in the healthcare system, misinformation, cultural beliefs, and personal or philosophical beliefs. Vaccine hesitancy exists on a spectrum, with some individuals completely refusing vaccines, while others may delay vaccination or selectively choose which vaccines to receive.
