Researchers propose 5 strategies to encourage COVID-19 immunization

Islamabad-February 06 (online): Researchers have proposed a series of behavioral strategies that, they believe, would encourage people to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

In a new article, a team of researchers has proposed five strategies to encourage immunization against COVID-19 that they hope the United States government will implement.

To help address these concerns, the researchers behind the present article have proposed five strategies that, they say, should be at the heart of the U.S. vaccination program.
First, the researchers propose that the vaccine should be free and easily accessible.
Even a small charge may put people off receiving the vaccine, and vaccinating at a variety of locations may reduce “hassle factors” that can act as a barrier.
Second, the researchers suggest making access to valued locations or services dependent on being vaccinated.
For example, if a person needs to be vaccinated to enter a workplace, communal living facility, or even a movie theater, this could go a long way toward normalizing the immunization.
