A Solution that Would Increase Number of Adults Willing to Receive the Vaccine
To increase the number of adults willing to receive vaccines, it is crucial to change their perspective about the safety of the vaccines. Evidence indicates that provider recommendation has a strong influence on decision-making around vaccines (Geoghegan, O’Callaghan, & Offit, 2020).
It has been determined that well-informed discussions on the safety of vaccines have little impact on individuals. It has been pointed out that despite the existing scientific evidence supporting the safety of vaccines, counteracting false information held by adults remains a major challenge. The task is up to the frontline workers to offer recommendations.
It is therefore important for them to have adequate understanding to empower them to provide strong advice that is backed by strong scientific evidence. Front line workers are in direct contact with the patients, families, and the community and can influence their decision towards vaccines. Health facilities should provide them with the necessary resources to reach out to a significant number of people.
