The Humanitarian Collaborative contributed to a newly published study in Vaccine, a leading peer-reviewed journal on immunization research. Titled “Global perspectives on COVID-19 vaccination: Impacts on well-being and inequality,” this study examines the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination and subjective well-being (SWB), as well as well-being inequality. Using a conceptual framework, the research incorporates demographic characteristics, socioeconomic factors, health, and social support.

The results suggest that public health policies should prioritize vaccine uptake and address underlying socioeconomic disparities to promote overall mental health and well-being in the population.
