At the end of December 2019, SARS-COV-2 virus was identified as responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The rapid spread of transmission exposed structural failures of modern societies and of the health systems in preventing and containing a health threat. Scientific discussion has focused on the search for a vaccine, but less on understanding the social response to the current global threat and fear of outbreaks. In this essay, we reflect, based on the social sciences, on the importance of linking three concepts: vulnerability-perception-risk. This is necessary to develop preventive strategies appropriate to population circumstances, especially with the most vulnerable population, in favor of health equity.
2019 年 12 月底，SARS-COV-2 病毒被确定为 COVID-19 大流行的罪魁祸首。该病毒的快速传播暴露了现代社会和卫生系统在预防和控制健康威胁方面的结构缺陷。科学讨论的重点是寻找疫苗，但对理解当前全球威胁和对疫情爆发的恐惧的社会反应关注较少。在本文中，我们基于社会科学，反思了将三个概念联系起来的重要性：脆弱性感知风险。这对于制定适合人口情况的预防策略是必要的，特别是对于最脆弱的人群，以促进健康公平。
