Specialists in disease control and prevention and U.S. The centers hope this is the case.
Infectious disease epidemiologist Jessica Malati Rivera told CNN, “I would definitely think that public health swag has a little weight.” “The flu vaccine band aid has become iconic. Something similar to the Covid-19, like a button or sticker, will be something I would personally proudly wear and encourage others to do the same.”
“It’s definitely psychology,” said Malati Rivera. “The ‘I got the flu shot’ sticker for health care providers definitely gives patients and people coming into hospital settings a little confidence that they are entering safe and secure places.”
“Today I am optimistic, relieved. I hope this is the beginning of the end of a very painful time,” he told a news conference.
The vaccine represents a “restoration of hope, healing, public health and safety” and is “a step in the right direction,” said Nurse Lindsay, an intensive care unit at Long Island Jewish Medical Center.
Wearing a sticker can also give people a sense of hope that we are moving in the right direction, said Malati Rivera.
“If people just walk around with their masks on, that’s normal for 2020.” “If you start to see a growing trend of people wearing stickers, it may start to give you a little excitement that things are happening, people are getting safer and we’ll get closer to the end of this.”
Production, distribution and administration still pose challenges, he said, but the biggest threat to the rest may be people’s readiness for vaccinations.
Some people are wondering if the vaccine is safe because it came out faster than the typical vaccine, which takes years to make.
“I don’t think the stickers will do much to change people’s minds on their hypotheses about the vaccine.” “I think vaccination hesitation needs to be targeted through very specific communication.”
“Vaccination hesitation predicts the Covid-1 vaccine and we have a long history of it in this country and is a way to dispel myths, misinformation and equip people with accurate information and data to help them feel confident in the process. , ”She said.
Regardless of how people feel about the vaccine, the Malati Riviera is proud of its development and how scientists work around the world to help research and bring it together.
Malati Rivera said, “I have never been a professor of science. Was not and I think we should all be.
The goal of public health is for people to do things to take care of each other, he said. Getting vaccinated is the same idea – you do something “for the benefit of others,” she said.
“We are saying that we wear masks for others, in the same way we are vaccinating others,” he said. “Helping each other will get us to the finish line.”
