ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic is a public health emergency on a global scale, and vaccination has been shown to be effective in containing the pandemic. Social issues surrounding COVID-19 vaccination contribute to the level of skepticism and opposition expressed by a sizable proportion of the global population. The need to address socio-cultural and religious standpoints on COVID-19 immunization and related discussions is becoming more pressing as the pandemic's socioeconomic implications become more concerning. Without a doubt, failing to address social issues jeopardizes countries' ability to achieve the WHO-recommended 70 percent coverage target for all countries, which would halt the pandemic by creating a global herd immunity. In this article, we discussed some of these social issues as well as emerging strategies for addressing these challenges and driving a rapid increase in COVID-19 vaccine uptake.
