The COVID-19 Vaccine: Engagement in Public Discussions and Conversations with the Multicultural Communities in Victoria, Australia
Abstract
The New Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has inflicted more significant harm than good worldwide, leaving people with horror, fear, anxiety, panics, and confusions that continue to affect and interfere with our daily activities socially and economically. The central issues in the COVID-19 pandemic era include risk communication and how COVID-19 spreads across the population. The multicultural communities, including ethnic minorities, migrant and refugee, face extreme challenges with uncertainties of the pandemic coupling with poor health, low health literacy (language barrier), inequity, and inequality in healthcare services.
