COVID-19 vaccines, hesitancy and mental health
Abstract
‘None of us will be safe until everyone is safe.
Global access to coronavirus vaccines, tests and treatments for everyone who needs them, anywhere, is the only way out’.
This statement by Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the WHO and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission1 has become the rallying call for COVID-19 vaccination.
The success of a safe and efficacious COVID-19 vaccine depends just not only on production and availability but also crucially on uptake.
