Abstract:
Vaccine hesitancy is long-standing healthcare issue, which has come to the forefront during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is a complex issue which requires an in-depth review of the factors that influence the decision to not vaccinate. These factors include cultural influences, an individual’s attitudes and perceptions towards illnesses and healthcare, as well as cognitive biases that may occur. Understanding these influences, in addition to concepts in organizational behavior in healthcare, such as decision-making processes, motivational concepts and communication, will enable healthcare practitioners and public health officials, develop more effective methods in approaching those individuals who are vaccine hesitant.
