The success of vaccination programs and their contributions to the control of preventable diseases have always been influenced by levels of public confidence in vaccines. However, various events in the twenty-first century have further complicated this issue. In an era characterized by global uncertainty—driven by ongoing conflicts, socioeconomic crises, climate change, and political instability—public perceptions of vaccination have undergone significant shifts. The rise of social media, the introduction of new vaccines for adults, growing mistrust in public health systems and governments, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic have all contributed to shifts in public perceptions and attitudes toward vaccination. These developments have heightened concerns about vaccines, particularly among certain populations in Europe, where declining vaccination rates have been observed.
