Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will explore a range of factors associated with attitudes, intentions and decisions related to COVID-19 vaccinations. It will include international perspectives and multiple methodological approaches (quantitative and/or qualitative) in order to improve our knowledge of the determinants of vaccine hesitancy and acceptance around COVID-19 vaccination. It will include research that draws from a range of theoretical insights and frameworks (e.g., the Behavioural and Social Drivers (BeSD) of vaccination). Submissions may also explore the topic of misinformation and the ‘infodemic’ related to COVID-19 vaccines. Submissions that are novel and extend the growing literature on this topic are particularly encouraged, including large multi-country studies and longitudinal analyses. Studies looking at attitudes and behaviours related to ongoing COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy or acceptance (including the relation between attitudes to COVID-19 vaccines and other vaccinations such as flu vaccinations and childhood immunizations) are also welcome. Although the COVID-19 pandemic is no longer a global emergency, this Special Issue will build upon the global evidence base by improving our knowledge of how people make decisions around vaccination, including the enablers and barriers, and focusing on lessons learned from the past three years.
We appreciate your consideration, and sincerely hope you will participate.
Kind regards,
Dr. Simon Nicholas Williams
Guest Editor
