Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vaccinations save lives, but many people remain hesitant to get vaccinated against COVID-19 through fear of side effects. Increasing vaccine knowledge is therefore vital for a successful COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Understanding the reasons for vaccine hesitancy and the benefits of vaccination in disease prevention is necessary. Unvaccinated individuals have higher rates of hospitalization and COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality. We invite you to submit original research articles or reviews to this Special Issue exploring the factors that contribute to hesitancy toward COVID-19 vaccination and the consequences of non-vaccination.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Ljiljana Marković-Denić
