Immunization against disease is among the most successful global
health efforts of the modern era, and substantial gains in
vaccination coverage rates have been achieved worldwide. However,
that progress has stagnated in recent years, leaving an estimated
20 million children worldwide either undervaccinated or completely
unvaccinated. The determinants of vaccination uptake are complex,
mutable, and context specific. A primary driver is vaccine
hesitancy - defined as a "delay in acceptance or refusal of
vaccines despite availability of vaccination services". The
majority of vaccine-hesitant people fall somewhere on a spectrum
from vaccine acceptance to vaccine denial. Vaccine uptake is also
hampered by socioeconomic or structural barriers to access. On
August 17-20, 2020, the Forum on Microbial Threats at the National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a 4-day
virtual workshop titled The Critical Public Health Value of
Vaccines: Tackling Issues of Access and Hesitancy. The workshop
focused on two main areas (vaccine access and vaccine confidence)
and gave particular consideration to health systems, research
opportunities, communication strategies, and policies that could be
considered to address access, perception, attitudes, and behaviors
toward vaccination. This publication summarizes the presentations
and discussion of the workshop. Table of Contents Front Matter 1
