Understanding the influence of religious and safety concerns on childhood measles and pertussis vaccination: a study conducted in Aceh, Indonesia, 2022
While concerns can overlap, evidence suggests that religious concerns are distinct and influence vaccination rates more than structural barriers. Understanding barriers to vaccination is a precursor to developing tailored interventions, like encouraging religious leaders to act as a trusted source of vaccine guidelines or promoting the use of a halal vaccine, that can mitigate hesitancy.
