Qualitative study explores primary healthcare provider experiences with vaccine hesitancy, highlighting the provider role in overcoming vaccine refusal and distrust.
Vaccine hesitancy was declared as one of the ten threats to global public health by the World Health Organization in 2019. It undermines the effort towards eradication of vaccine-preventable diseases. Healthcare providers, who are directly involved in vaccination services and vaccine advocacies, are important in combating vaccine hesitancy. Studies have shown that vaccine refusers have various reasons for refusal including distrust towards healthcare providers. Hence, it is important to understand healthcare providers' perspectives. This study aimed to explore primary healthcare providers (PHCPs)' experiences in dealing with vaccine hesitancy.
