Uptake and hesitancy of the second booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine among the general population in China after the surge period of the COVID-19 pandemic: a large-scale national study
COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy remains prevalent among the general population in China after the surge period of the pandemic. Crucial steps, such as raising public awareness of the benefits and potential side effects of regular COVID-19 vaccination, ensuring timely monitoring and disclosure of pandemic information, and implementing targeted measures to improve social support and mental health, should be taken. These efforts will be instrumental in reducing vaccine hesitancy, advancing vaccination campaigns, and effectively preparing for the potential future outbreaks.
