Vaccine Resistance and the Covid-19 Pandemic

Vaccine Resistance and the Covid-19 Pandemic

Show notes

Many argue that a return to pre-pandemic personal and working life will have to await the development of an effective and safe vaccine – something that’s by no means guaranteed as we have seen with other recent coronaviruses such as SARS and MERS.

But, even if a safe, effective and affordable Covid-19 vaccine becomes widely available, will it be embraced by a sufficient percentage of the population to ensure widespread public immunity from Covid-19?

To help us understand why a growing number of people have become “vaccine resistant” if not “vaccine hostile”, join me, Terry Moore, for a conversation with Jennifer Reich, an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Colorado at Denver and the author of the 2016 book entitled “Calling the Shots: Why Parents Reject Vaccines”.
