Vaccine hesitancy: Why ‘doing your own research’ doesn’t work, but reason alone won’t change minds

Vinod Goel, York University, Canada

Vaccine hesitancy is often met with one of two responses: Ridicule, or factual information. Both assume a failure of reason, but human behaviour is more complex than reason, so both responses fail.

Politicizing COVID-19 vaccination efforts has fuelled vaccine hesitancy

The antagonism driven by political interference in COVID-19 vaccination is fuelling hesitancy. Mass vaccination campaigns require public buy-in via trusted health-care providers and community leaders.

‘Never’ or just ‘not yet?’ How timing affects COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy

Vivian Harbers, University of Guelph; Eric B. Kennedy, York University, Canada, dan Jean-François Daoust, The University of Edinburgh

Vaccine hesitancy may be a waiting game. Even those who said they would never get the COVID-19 vaccine if it were available immediately became more likely to do so when it was available in the future.

The nanoparticles in mRNA vaccines are nothing to fear: We interact with many useful, tiny particles every day

Keroles Riad, Concordia University dan Sylvie Ouellette, Concordia University

Some vaccine hesitancy is based on a fear of the nanoparticles used in mRNA vaccines. But humans have been interacting with nanoparticles for millennia, and we use nanotechnology-based devices every day.

Answers from COVID experts: How do you talk to family members who aren’t vaccinated? How can the vaccines be safe if they were developed so quickly? Is natural immunity better than being vaccinated?

Scott White, The Conversation

A panel of experts answer questions about vaccines, omicron and other COVID-related issues in a discussion with The Conversation.

COVID-19 vaccine inequity allowed Omicron to emerge

Dawn ME Bowdish, McMaster University dan Chandrima Chakraborty, McMaster University

In places with low vaccination rates, COVID-19 has the chance to linger, and variants develop and travel. Without global vaccine equity, this entirely predictable pattern will repeat itself.

Children ages 5 to 11 are getting COVID-19 vaccinations: What this might mean for the holidays and the Omicron variant

Dasantila Golemi-Kotra, York University, Canada dan Jianhong Wu, York University, Canada

The participation of five-to-11-year-old children in vaccination programs will make 90 per cent of the population eligible to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

The fault in our stars: Aaron Rodgers reminds us why celebrity shouldn’t trump science

Eric Cadesky, University of British Columbia

NFL star Aaron Rodgers has amplified dangerous and disproven myths about the COVID-19 vaccine. Here’s why his statements are not only untrue, but also harmful because they spread misinformation.
Vaccine hesitancy has been a growing challenge for more than a decade. Concerns about vaccine safety and adverse events are the most commonly cited reasons. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis) 

How cognitive biases and adverse events influence vaccine decisions (maybe even your own)

Hossein Azarpanah, Concordia University; Louise Pilote, McGill University; Mohsen Farhadloo, Concordia University, dan Rustam Vahidov, Concordia University

To help increase trust in vaccines, researchers analyzed data on adverse events to address safety concerns, and then used cognitive science to show how cognitive biases feed vaccine hesitancy.

I’m an infectious disease doctor. Yes, I’m vaccinating our 5-year-old against COVID-19. Here is why you should too.

Alexander Wong, University of Saskatchewan

An infectious diseases doctor reviews the evidence, discusses hesitancy and concerns about side-effects and explains the overwhelming case for vaccinating five-to-11-year-olds, including his own son.
Ethics are important to vaccination decisions because while science can clarify some of the costs and benefits, it cannot tell us which costs and benefits matter most to us. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Frank Gunn

Ethical decisions: Weighing risks and benefits of approving COVID-19 vaccination in children ages 5-11

Anthony Skelton, Western University

When making the decision whether to vaccinate children aged five to 11 against COVID-19, regulators in Canada must rely on sound ethics as well as sound science.
Even if Alberta was motivated to increase vaccination rates through direct government intervention, the measures may not succeed given conservatives’ lack of faith in the province, the premier and the cabinet. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh

Financial insecurity and right-wing beliefs drive COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among Albertans

Michelle Maroto, University of Alberta; Feo Snagovsky, University of Alberta, dan Jared Wesley, University of Alberta

We surveyed Albertans, and while most were vaccinated, we found certain groups were less likely to be vaccinated than others. Those being people facing economic hardship and political affiliation.

How the puzzle of viral vector vaccines was solved, leading to today’s COVID-19 shots

Jack Gauldie, McMaster University

Viral vectors are modified viruses that trigger an immune response without causing infection. The vector that’s used in several COVID-19 vaccines was created decades ago by Canadian Frank Graham.

Why ensuring trust is important in reducing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy

Nelson Duenas, Concordia University dan Claudine Mangen, Concordia University

Trust is needed to curb vaccine hesitancy. Governments need to explain vaccines and other public health measures, while also speaking to the broader purpose of caring for the community we belong to.
