During the Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic, with channelization of misinformation in several platforms that people can access, the world has witnessed a unique infodemic throughout the globe. Some knowledge helped people to alleviate not only the stigma and anxiety but also inclined them to take appropriate COVID-19 behavior; whereas, the some acted opposite and buildup an aura of negative thoughts in the community regarding the prevention and control and the efforts toward effective vaccine uptake contributing to psychological disbeliefs which in turn leading to vaccine hesitancy. In India, current vaccination program for COVID-19 needs to be communicated to not only promote vaccine acceptance but to also counter rumors related to COVID-19. The WHO has recommended all the individual governments to highlight the vaccine objection spots and that the governments, educate, and implement social awareness on the vaccination with the help of local organizations so that large proportion are covered with this safe immune program. With the emergence of new variants COVID-19 infection can be severe. "Earlier people get vaccinated the earlier people are protected". Taking these concerns, our study will throw some light for primary care physicians on COVID-19 vaccine-related psychological attributes and hesitancy and will present pragmatic approaches to deal with scenarios related to it during the pandemic.
在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行期间,随着错误信息在人们可以访问的多个平台上传播,全球见证了一场独特的信息疫情。一些知识不仅有助于人们减轻耻辱感和焦虑感,还促使他们采取适当的COVID-19防控行为;然而,有些信息却起到了相反的作用,在社区中营造了一种关于预防和控制以及有效接种疫苗努力的负面思想氛围,导致心理上的不信任,进而引发疫苗犹豫。在印度,当前的COVID-19疫苗接种计划不仅需要进行宣传以促进疫苗接受度,还需要应对与COVID-19相关的谣言。世界卫生组织建议各国政府指出疫苗接种的障碍,并在当地组织的帮助下,对疫苗接种进行宣传和开展社会宣传活动,以便让大部分人参与到这个安全的免疫计划中来。随着新变种的出现,COVID-19感染可能会很严重。“人们越早接种疫苗,就能越早得到保护”。考虑到这些问题,我们的研究将为初级保健医生揭示一些与COVID-19疫苗相关的心理特征和犹豫情况,并将提出在大流行期间应对相关情况的实用方法。
