About

Vaccination plays a crucial role in controlling and significantly eradicating many diseases. It reduces the burden of illness and saves countless lives worldwide. Vaccination is an essential tool in public health, directly impacting several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as it contributes to better education (SDG 4), healthier populations (SDG 3), lower poverty (SDG 1) and hunger (SDG 2), and cleaner water and sanitation (SDG 6). Misconceptions about vaccines can lead people to distrust vaccination effectiveness or safety. Such misconceptions are often spread through word of mouth, social media, or alternative health communities. Therefore, “vaccine education and promotion” is crucial to inform and encourage people to vaccinate by providing accurate scientific information and implementing vaccination programs, emphasizing their benefits, safety, and importance in preventing infectious diseases.

This Research Topic focuses on new developments in “vaccine education and promotion” in several settings, such as schools, workplaces, and communities, as well as through traditional press media and social media. We aim to include studies of public health campaigns, school health activities, production of vaccine educational materials, community outreach, and diverse communication to address concerns or misinformation about vaccines. The goal is to find ways of increasing vaccine rates and promoting public health by ensuring people make informed decisions about their health and the health of their communities.

This Research Topic welcomes the submission of manuscripts focused on “vaccine education and promotion” that, among others, can address the following:
• Diverse strategies for vaccine education and promotion, including but not limited to several settings (schools, workplaces, communities, etc) and traditional press media and social media;
• Gender issues and health inequalities related to vaccination;
• Emphasis on the underlying framework/program theory, the planning, the implementation process, and the evaluation of the vaccination promotion initiative;
• Vaccine education and promotion initiatives' impact and lessons;
• Active ingredients, favorable conditions and specific competencies for successful vaccine-promoting initiatives.
