Abstract
When confronted with a pandemic catastrophe, vaccine scepticism may have a variety of negative effects for society. An important component of reducing vaccine hesitation in work place is identifying the factors that contribute to this hesitancy. In this sense, the goal of this study is to determine whether or not the employment requirement may be considered an important element in lowering vaccine reluctance in the workplace. Due to the fact that journalists operate on the front lines, it is vital that they get the necessary vaccinations. Because of this, a convenience sample approach was utilised to gather information from 150 Journalists in Karachi. The data was analysed with the help of SPSS. The major results suggest that employment needs are a critical factor in persuading journalists to get vaccinated against the flu. It also reveals certain traits that might be exploited to lessen vaccine reluctance, according to the findings of the research. The most crucial are to increase the dependability and validity of vaccines, as well as the availability and affordability of all forms of immunisation in Pakistan, in order to ensure that everyone has access to the vaccine they need when they need it. Because the study's scope is restricted, it is advised that the sample size be extended in order for the results to be applicable to a broader community of participants. The 5As taxonomy included all recognised variables of vaccination uptake. This accessible taxonomy has already allowed mutual comprehension of the major reasons of inadequate coverage among inter-sectorial working groups, which is a first step toward their establishing focused and effective solutions.
