Trends in COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance in the Philippines and their Implications on Health Communication

/in , , /by

UNDP Philippines, in close collaboration with the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) and the financial support of The Rockerfeller Foundation, has commissioned this research titled, “Trends in COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance in the Philippines and Their Implications on Health Communication”, to deepen our understanding of the factors behind vaccine acceptance in Philippines.

In this research, we applied innovative methodologies to generate insights for community mobilization and social behavior change communication (or SBCC) interventions, which could be an effective strategy in addressing vaccine acceptance. The report generated significant insights related to the level of vaccine acceptance, factors that determine the change in behavior and identified strategic communication messaging cues.

            Psychological characteristics associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and resistance in Ireland and the United Kingdom

            /in , , , /by

            Identifying and understanding COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy within distinct populations may aid future public health messaging. Using nationally representative data from the general adult populations of Ireland and the United Kingdom, we found that vaccine hesitancy/resistance was evident for 35% and 31% of these populations respectively. Vaccine hesitant/resistant respondents in Ireland and the UK differed on a number of sociodemographic and health-related variables but were similar across a broad array of psychological constructs.

              /in , , , /by

              While vaccines ensure individual protection against COVID-19 infection, delay in receipt or refusal of vaccines will have both individual and community impacts. The behavioral factors of vaccine hesitancy or refusal are a crucial dimension that need understanding to implicate appropriate interventions. The aim of this study was to assess the behavioral determinants of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and to provide recommendations to increase the uptake of COVID-19 vaccines in Bangladesh.

                  Shame Gets a Failing Grade for Health Promotion

                  /in , , /by

                  Is it helpful to use shame for health promotion? The impulse is certainly strong. Shame and blame have been consistent threads through years of grappling with the health impact of obesity. Along the same line, we’re seeing shame and blame trotted out for the unvaccinated in the U.S. as a the Delta variant produces a surge in COVID-19 cases.

                  Shame is a very natural response in some circumstances. But experience and some data suggest that shame does not work as a very robust tool for health promotion.
