Altruism Can Spur Us to Get Vaccinated

Emphasizing the benefits for the wider community instead of pure self-interest is more effective in making people get vaccinated against COVID. This is the conclusion of a multi-country research project by Vincenzo Galasso, Vincent Pons, Paola Profeta, Martin McKee, David Stuckler, Michael Becher, Sylvain Brouard, and Martial Foucault as reported in a paper (Addressing vaccine hesitancy: experimental evidence from nine high-income countries during the COVID-19 pandemic) that appeared in BMJ Global Health.
