In India, many people are hesitant to get vaccines, which is a big problem.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said this is one of the top ten health threats in the world.
Vaccines are very important for keeping us healthy, but some people are worried because of old beliefs or wrong information.
This makes it hard for everyone to stay safe, especially those who need protection the most.
It's important to trust vaccines so that we can all be healthier.
Vaccine hesitancy is a significant issue in India, affecting at-risk populations.
WHO identified vaccine hesitancy as one of the top ten global health threats in 2019.
Vaccines are highly effective but hesitancy prevents many from benefiting.
