description The hesitancy and resistance to get vaccinated against COVID-19, by a relatively small but significant part of the general population, has become a serious worldwide problem, and particularly in the United States, despite a vigorous and highly organized governmental advertising campaign promoting vaccination. The unwillingness to get vaccinated has its roots in mostly the spreading of non-scientific, unproven or misleading information. This chapter explains many of the reasons, including an historical connection, behind this anti-vaccine movement, and proposes several possible and feasible remedies to counter this sentiment.
