Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Vaccination is crucial for public health, but achieving widespread immunity may require continual innovation. This Special Issue of Vaccines, entitled "Vaccination Strategies and Population Immunity", examines some of the challenges and solutions for access to vaccines. It will investigate strategies to reach historically overlooked communities, emphasizing the importance of health equity in achieving population immunity. Additionally, this Special Issue will promote vaccination strategies and cover a range of approaches that include encouraging healthcare providers to have meaningful conversations with their patients to build trust and increase vaccine acceptance.
