WASHINGTON : A study published in 'BMJ Open Journal' has found that vaccine hesitancy which has been witnessed during the Covid-19 vaccination drive can be related to childhood trauma such as neglect, domestic violence or substance abuse in the family.

The vaccine hesitancy was seen to be three time higher among people who had four or more experiences of childhood trauma. It has often been noticed that childhood adversity is linked to poor mental health.

Some studies have suggested that mistreatment as a child may undermine subsequent trust, including in health and other public services.

Vaccine hesitancy has remained a huge hurdle in the vaccination drive taken up all around the world to fight the deadly novel coronavirus.

COVID-19 pandemic, British Columbia’s premier has said he’s looking for ways to balance public protection with individual freedom.In a Friday press conference after a meeting of all Canadian premiers, John Horgan said he and other provincial and territorial leaders, discussed interprovincial travel rights as the Omicron variant continues to impact public health restrictions.“As we come to this place of moving in the next number of weeks to potentially endemic rather than pandemic, we need to reimagine the tools at our disposal as citizens and as provinces, and as a federal government is,” said Horgan.“How do we maximize our ability to protect people, which is our obligation, but also to ensure that their liberties are intact and they can make choices for themselves? It’s a fine balance and we’re all working together on how do we get there?” Canadian premiers push for boost in health-care funding from Ottawa In a news conference Friday, Canada’s chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam said that as Canada emerges from the “Omicron wave,” it’s important for governments to recognize that the virus isn’t going to disappear.“We need to be able to address the ongoing presence of the SARS‑CoV‑2 virus in a more sustainable way,” she said.“The virus will continue to evolve so we need to also continue to evolve our measures, recognizing that further waves will occur.”Her comments come as two provinces, Alberta and Saskatchewan, have announced intentions to end most or all COVID-19 restrictions.
