What are the Challenges Faced by Vaccination Programs?
Despite their success, vaccination programs face several challenges:
- Vaccine Hesitancy: Reluctance or refusal to vaccinate despite availability, often due to misinformation or distrust. - Logistical Issues: Ensuring proper storage, transportation, and administration of vaccines, especially in low-resource settings. - Financial Constraints: Funding shortfalls can limit the reach and sustainability of vaccination programs. - Emerging Diseases: New pathogens, like the COVID-19 virus, present ongoing challenges that require rapid vaccine development and deployment.
