3-Vaccine hesitancy --- In order to understand the mistrust, you need to run a study in your country and localities. As an example, a few months back an ‘anti-slander, anti-hoax’ community group in Indonesia visited some villages with low vaccination rate in support of the national vaccination campaign. The group found out that a lot of villagers, especially the elderlies who are the most vulnerable, were told that they would die if they got the vaccine. They designed a campaign to address the misinformation, including through social media, with good result as I saw photos of community meetings and people going for vaccination on their Facebook page.
