Notes
Barriers
Cultural barriers – In every community, there are people who are not able to speak or read
English therefore experiencing problems sailing through vaccine appointment registration
systems where instructions are only written in English. The general information about the
vaccine may get lost in translation of the original message from English to other languages.
Attitudinal barriers – Attitudinal barriers are beliefs that may lower someone’s desire to
accept a vaccine. Many people in the community believe that vaccines are harmful to one’s
body since they cause the disease that they allege to prevent. Attitudinal barriers may arise due
to lack of partnership in working with individuals and community at large to build social
relationships which are important in listening to people’s concerns and alleviating fears (Paul,
Steptoe & Fancourt, 2021).
Emotional barriers – Distrust towards the vaccines and regulatory bodies that monitor vaccine
production and distribution is a common barrier of communication for taking the COVID-19
vaccine (Latkin et al, 2021). People also fear to get vaccinated since they may get contact with
the infected persons. Trust in bodies involved in vaccine production and distribution crucially
influences vaccine roll out and uptake.
Informational barriers – A large section of the community has a little know how about
COVID-19 vaccine administration procedures, suggestions to get vaccinated and dangers
associated with COVID-19. Furthermore, Social media has been a major way of spreading false
information to the community, therefore ensuring quick spread of misinformation and
providing a platform for anti-vaccine action (Fisk, 2021).

Strategies
Cultural barriers – Building social relationships with community organization to encourage
vaccination among the marginalized and maligned groups of people. Through building
relationships, more community members are likely to get adequate information about the
vaccines and get easy access to the vaccination centres. As a result, attitudinal barriers are
likely to be overcome.
Attitudinal barriers – creating safe space for COVID-19 vaccination in which people do not
fear being infected or being exposed to the virus. This can be achieved through organizing
centers that are managed to hold the possible minimum capacity (Lin et al., 2021). All health
protocols as directed by health practitioners should be followed.
Emotional barriers – Building trust will be important in the success of any vaccination
program to attain equal protection of all citizens from COVID-19 infection and therefore ensure
effective control of the pandemic (Latkin et al, 2021). This solution will address the challenge
of lack of trust in production and distribution of vaccines.
Informational barriers – Social media can be used to promote vaccination among the youths
and society at large. Many people are likely to get vaccinated if awareness is created through
social media platforms and they are educated on the importance of COVID-19 vaccination.
Celebrities may be used to educate people through these platforms thereby increasing the
number of people getting vaccinated. Furthermore, launching advertising campaigns,
increasing community awareness and translating any information related to COVID-19
vaccination to other languages may solve the language barriers of communication. There is a
necessity of providing the legal information in languages that everyone can understand, more
especially the elderly people, so that they can have access to healthcare services and get
vaccinated.
