Brief summary: Social settings of Pakistan is unique in the sense that it is composed of multilingual, multicultural and different ethnicities. Also their believes and faiths are so unpredictable. It is therefore observed that this social phenomenon affects the acceptability of new things in this area. Polio vaccination has not worked so well in the past. Iodized salt acceptability has also been criticized in the last decades and is a matter of controversy till now. This behavior has also developed before the commencement of vaccination of COVID-19 in Pakistan, as there are many rumors and fears circulating via social media amongst Pakistan. What will be the acceptance rate for this vaccination, the time will decide.
