Syringe fear - Vaccine resistance in Sweden during the coronavirus pandemic

Syringe fear - Vaccine resistance in Sweden during the coronavirus pandemic

Vaccination rates are high in Sweden, but many people choose not to get vaccinated. What impact does the so-called anti-vaccination movement actually have? And how does it work?

In order to design vaccination campaigns safely and so that people feel safe, we need to genuinely try to understand the anti-vaccination movement, what drives it and how it influences. Vincent Amble-Naess is a junior doctor and writer who has worked in the field of elderly care. His experiences and essay offer a particularly relevant and interesting perspective on the issue.
