Providing a sociological analysis of the policy response to the
COVID-19 pandemic in England, this study places particular
analytical emphasis on the interplay between powerful structural
interests and the influence on the development of COVID-19 policy.
Considering a range of actors, (including the government,
scientific experts and the medical profession, the media, and the
public) and the nature of their relationships with one another, the
authors identify the key sociological aspects that have shaped,
facilitated, challenged, or constrained COVID-19 policy in England.
Drawing on published documentary material, the authors first
examine government attempts to contain, delay, mitigate and
suppress the spread of the coronavirus with non-pharmaceutical
interventions in the absence of a vaccine (during the first wave)
and then whilst vaccines were being gradually rolled out (during
the second wave and third waves). The focus then shifts on to
vaccination policy and the actors central in the design and
implementation of the vaccination programme in England. The
approach taken to the funding, development, and manufacture of
COVID-19 vaccines is also explored and furthermore considers
vaccine coverage, vaccine passports, and vaccine nationalism. The
authors conclude with a discussion of the overall impact of
COVID-19 policy on health and between socio-economic groups and
with reflections on the sociologies of pandemics and COVID-19. This
book will appeal and be accessible both to policymakers and health
service managers and to those studying for undergraduate and
postgraduate degrees in the social, medical, and public health
sciences.
