Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted various global problems and opportunities for reorganizing health structures and services. This Special Issue addresses the public health aspects of COVID-19 vaccines and vaccination, supports decision making, and informs policy changes.
We welcome multidisciplinary work, including submissions from public health specialists, including epidemiologists, original research articles, and evidence-based summaries. The research areas may include:
- Public health and policy issues linked to vaccination coverage, vaccine research, communication strategies for encouraging vaccine uptake, and vaccine hesitancy.
- Efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines in the context of new variants, novel vaccine platforms, safety, and booster doses.
- Routine vaccinations in workplaces, infants, and adults during the pandemic.
