Serving as an important resource for policymakers, it addresses attitudes towards and causes of growing vaccine hesitancy —a pressing concern identified by the World Health Organization as a top 10 global health threat. Moreover, the book sheds light on key factors associated with positive vaccine attitudes, aiming to bolster vaccine uptake rates. The authors explore the role of happiness in shaping health-related decision-making, offering actionable policy recommendations for governments. By sharing best-case practices, they equip policymakers and health officials worldwide with the necessary strategies to address future pandemics effectively.Human Well-Being Research and Policy Making,2522-5375Quality of lifeWell-beingSocial policyHealth services administrationSocial medicineVaccination HesitancyCOVID-19 VaccinesQuality of LifeQuality of Life ResearchWell-BeingSocial PolicyHealth Care ManagementMedical SociologyQuality of life.Well-being.Social policy.Health services administration.Social medicine.Vaccination Hesitancy.COVID-19 Vaccines.Quality of Life.Quality of Life Research.Well-Being.Social Policy.Health Care Management.Medical Sociology.610306Rossouw Stephanie1771242Greyling Talita1771243MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910886090803321Resistance to COVID-19 Vaccination4257969UNINA
