COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in ethnic minority communities: increasing vaccine confidence is key

The pandemic is over, right? Wrong – around three years since we first went into lockdown, COVID-19 is still a thing. People are still catching, and some are dying, of COVID-19. Most of us have had it – in many cases, more than once. Although it may feel like everything is back to normal, the pandemic isn’t over yet. I’d like to think we’ve learnt something from this pandemic; even if only how important human contact is. Apart from some personal lessons, one of the insights I’ve gained as a result of the pandemic is just how complex the phenomenon of vaccine hesitancy is.
