Maybe but on a small scale, most people with reversible hesitancy changed their minds throughout all of these months. Others are harder to deal with.

Depends on the reasons behind the vaccine hesitancy so my answer is maybe maybe not!

Yes, FDA’s decision will convince people who have been wary of COVID-19 vaccines due to safety concerns to finally get a first dose.

Whether FDA approval of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine (1) will reduce vaccination hesitancy will be known in next few weeks

People have an innate trust of their Primary Care Providers (PCP). For those that can't rely on a PCP due to socio-economic conditions or location, there needs to be an effort by medical providers to develop a trusting relationship, however brief.

That being said, the recommendation for COVID-19 vaccination by news media and government agencies, regardless of what country one lives in, are viewed with suspicion and distrust due to various agendas, real or perceived.

Regardless of government permanent approval status, the message of safety and efficacy must come from PCP and other healthcare providers

People tend to believe the messages received from people they trust, not strangers with whom there is no emotional or social relationship. So, no, CODID-19 vaccination hesitancy will not change until the messengers change.

The issue of vaccine hesitancy is prevalent and emdedded in the society due to other factors that don't involve approval of the A and will still remain, however we should do as much as we can regarding the awareness of the efficacy and importance of vaccines.

People in different places are not ready to be vaccinated, how anyone can convince those all for this. There are already many vaccines available in market.

Thank you Arvind Singh for your insightful answer. I hope things can change for the better.

Thanks, Steven C Y Ng I agree reasons are varied, so it may not only be vaccine safety. Let us wait and see what statistics will say.

Thank you Assem Al Refaei . Yes, the reasons are varied indeed.

Thanks Muhammad Yousuf . For sure time will tell as figures will show whether this action has some reaction.

Well, I am sure of one thing, that some persons will take the jab if FDA gives full approval to Pfizer, but the problem remains that most people don't listen to the government anymore, the truth between the institution and the people are at it's lowest, it's evident in the events happening around the world amid a global pandemic, as I said earlier, people will get the jab anyway, but most conservatives will stick to their notion of freedom of choice and may likely have to be forced against their belief to have it.

In summary, people that have been awaiting major clarity will be satisfied by the decision but we still have a small number that won't be moved by FDA's decision.

Thank you Obinna Alexander Nwuko . We wait to see how data behaves in this regard.

Thanks John Scherberger

Thank you Norbert Vilmos Molnár , Aadil Javed , Hermann Gruenwald and Wazir Ali . I believe very soon we will all know if this FDA's decision influences many to take the jab.

PhD holders are the most hesitant people to get COVID-19 vaccine shot.

Higher the degree, higher is the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy (excluding the medical PhDs!)

This is not what I am saying. These are the findings of a US study.

Thank you Muhammad Yousuf . What could be the reason for this hesitancy? Very interesting indeed.

Do you think the covid19 vaccine hesitancy will end with the full approval of the Pfizer vaccine?

No, still a large number of people doubted the effectiveness of all types of vaccines and their unknown adverse effects. In addition to the several mutations in the virus and the probability of needing a third dose of vaccine. All together maybe questionable………

Thank you Bushra Hussain Shnawa . It is a very interesting time, the new strains of the virus, the need for a third dose and hesitancy are surely complicating the pandemic.

Thank you so much dear Dr.Kogeda,

Yes, sure the issue is a little complicated and needs time to be more clear and understandable.

Recommendations on Fear of Adverse Effects and COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy

Please have a look at these recommendations published in JAMA:

FDA’s full approval of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine could be key to tackling vaccine hesitancy. The approval is also expected to spur vaccine mandates https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsls.com/news/local/2021/08/23/fdas-full-approval-of-pfizer-covid-19-vaccine-could-be-key-to-tackling-vaccine-hesitancy/%3foutputType=amp

Yes, with approval of Pfizer I think the vaccine hesitancy will be reduced by a certain fraction. Some people are still waiting to see how effective the vaccine will be after feedback from those fully vaccinated.

Thank you Chinaza Godswill Awuchi . I hope this and many more to be approved will help us accept the vaccine.

Thank you Kiprotich Kiptum It is very interesting to see those figures in the near future.

Agree with Dr. Kiprotich Kiptum

Hi Dr Okuthe P Kogeda . We don’t know . Let us wait and see. We can’t judge till we see the results with time . This is the scientific method to approve any experiment.

I think the FDA approval of Pfizer sent a clear message to vaccine hesitant people that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is both safe and effective. There is evidence from clinical trials and surveillance of about 92 million vaccinated Americans about the safety of the vaccines. I think some unvaccinated people will get the shot because of the approval but many who are uneducated will still be hesitant.

As Aref Wazwaz so correctly pointed out, the scientific method must be followed. I would prefer that science and the science of medicine be followed, rather than the unscientific dictates of politics.

I think it will end. However, I am afraid that different viruses will be produced after a while
