7 Ways To Reduce Reluctance To Take COVID Vaccines-Scientific American

Like billions of people around the world, I am eagerly awaiting my turn for a COVID vaccine. But not everyone shares my enthusiasm. My sister-in-law, an alternative health practitioner, says she doesn't trust “Big Pharma” to have formulated safe shots. She prefers to fortify her immune system with supplements and a healthy lifestyle. “I avoid all vaccines,” she told me. She is not alone. By now the term “vaccine hesitancy” has entered everyday pandemic discourse, joining “flatten the curve” and “social distancing.” Polls in December 2020 suggested that about 30 percent of Americans harbor doubts about COVID vaccinations.
