Affiliation: JSS College of Pharmacy, Mysuru, Karnataka, India.
Since 2020, I am in the field of vaccinology by choosing the topic “Development of strategies to address vaccine hesitancy” for my Ph.D. research work. Thus, I got various opportunities and exposure to know in depth about vaccines, its safety, the public attitude to vaccines, and their concerns and worries regarding immunization. To date I have published articles in reputed journals regarding the “Adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination: first 90 days of experience”, and “COVID-19 vaccine triggered autoimmune hepatitis: case report”, following more articles in processing, which are having the results of vaccine hesitancy to Optional vaccines, Mandatory vaccines, COVID-19 vaccines, Social media influence on vaccination decision making, and Socio-behavioural attitude to vaccines & its impact on pharmaco-economics. As a budding person in the field of vaccinology, I have made educational tools (posters, animated short videos, and booklets) to make awareness to the public. The strategies I developed to address vaccine hesitancy are having a significant impact on the vaccine coverage in the study center. And as an ambitious academic person, I am updating my knowledge about vaccines by attending various vaccinology courses conducted across the globe.
