Abstract

Recent policy conversations about vaccination programmes primarily target the problem of vaccine hesitancy and the lack of public participation at the level required for community immunity, or herd immunity. In this editorial, we will first explore the nature of public vaccine hesitancy, review what is known and demonstrate the significance of understanding vaccine hesitancy in the COVID-19 context. We argue that sociological research indicates that to sufficiently grasp vaccine hesitancy in the twenty-first century it is necessary to consider several aspects: the nature of medical decision-making, trust, risk and social responsibility, and the role of information technology and various forms of media. There are also questions about what influences the (successful) development and provision of a vaccine – issues that have been brought sharply into focus by the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, in the second half of the editorial, we move to consider the supply side of vaccination. We examine what shapes this configuration and consider the role of key players such as those who manufacture the vaccines and, in turn, those who regulate development, again with a focus on the COVID-19 pandemic.
希望、犹豫和疫苗开发的风险
最近关于疫苗接种规划的政策对话主要针对疫苗犹豫问题和缺乏社区免疫或群体免疫所需水平的公众参与。在这篇社论中,我们将首先探讨公众疫苗犹豫的本质,回顾已知情况,并论证在COVID-19背景下理解疫苗犹豫的重要性。我们认为,社会学研究表明,要充分把握21世纪的疫苗犹豫,有必要考虑几个方面:医疗决策的性质、信任、风险和社会责任,以及信息技术和各种形式的媒体的作用。还有一个问题是,是什么影响了疫苗的(成功)开发和提供——这一问题因COVID-19大流行而成为人们关注的焦点。因此,在社论的后半部分,我们开始考虑疫苗接种的供应方面。我们研究了是什么形成了这种格局,并考虑了关键参与者的作用,例如疫苗制造商,进而是那些监管发展的人,再次以COVID-19大流行为重点。

期刊介绍: Health Risk & Society is an international scholarly journal devoted to a theoretical and empirical understanding of the social processes which influence the ways in which health risks are taken, communicated, assessed and managed. Public awareness of risk is associated with the development of high profile media debates about specific risks. Although risk issues arise in a variety of areas, such as technological usage and the environment, they are particularly evident in health. Not only is health a major issue of personal and collective concern, but failure to effectively assess and manage risk is likely to result in health problems.
