Abstract

Critical to the advancement of vaccinology is the development of new vaccines available to meet both existing and emerging infectious disease threats. However, while underappreciated, new vaccines are not used in a vacuum. Rather, their use heavily depends on a variety of political, ethical, social, and psychological issues and considerations that at the individual and population level determine whether such vaccines are actually used. In this chapter we explore these aspects and how they mold and impact vaccine policy, uptake, and the success or failure of immunization programs.
