'''Vaccine hesitancy''' is not supporting [[vaccine]]s and the spread of [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]] against vaccines. Some believe that vaccines cause more harm than good.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Vaccine hesitancy: a generation at risk |journal=The Lancet |year=2019 |doi=10.1016/S2352-4642(19)30092-6 |url=https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanchi/article/PIIS2352-4642(19)30092-6/fulltext|last1=The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health |volume=3 |issue=5 |page=281 |pmid=30981382 |s2cid=115201206 }}</ref><ref name="Smith2015">{{Cite journal |last=Smith |first=MJ |date=November 2015 |title=Promoting Vaccine Confidence |journal=Infectious Disease Clinics of North America |type=Review |volume=29 |issue=4 |pages=759–69 |doi=10.1016/j.idc.2015.07.004 |pmid=26337737}}</ref><ref name="Larson2014">{{Cite journal |last1=Larson |first1=HJ |last2=Jarrett |first2=C |last3=Eckersberger |first3=E |last4=Smith |first4=DM |last5=Paterson |first5=P |date=April 2014 |title=Understanding vaccine hesitancy around vaccines and vaccination from a global perspective: a systematic review of published literature, 2007–2012. |journal=Vaccine |volume=32 |issue=19 |pages=2150–59 |doi=10.1016/j.vaccine.2014.01.081 |pmid=24598724}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Cataldi |first1=Jessica |last2=O’Leary |first2=Sean |title=Parental vaccine hesitancy: scope, causes, and potential responses |journal=Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases |date=2021 |volume=34 |issue=5 |pages=519–526 |doi=10.1097/QCO.0000000000000774 |pmid=34524202 |s2cid=237437018 |url=https://journals.lww.com/co-infectiousdiseases/Fulltext/2021/10000/Parental_vaccine_hesitancy__scope,_causes,_and.19.aspx?casa_token=aWELckabcbQAAAAA:Pom2T2qU10D9vOY0WcCHIgniEUg12biw0hY65e8WiQrLc204KdX7LqwEHUk0dGrKTmGa1m6_MLLIevKPSI9Qxk6o}}</ref>

"'''Anti-vaccinationism'''" is about the opposition to vaccination; in more recent years, anti-vaccinationists have been known as "'''anti-vaxxers'''" or "'''anti-vax'''".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hinsliff |first=Gaby |date=16 November 2020 |title=It's the 'vaccine hesitant', not anti-vaxxers, who are troubling public health experts |website=[[TheGuardian.com]] |url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/16/vaccine-hesitant-anti-vaxxers-public-health-experts-covid}}</ref> Vaccine hesitancy is complex and context-specific, varying across time, place and vaccines.<ref>{{Cite web|last=SAGE|first=Working Group|date=1 October 2014|title=Report of the SAGE working group on vaccine hesitancy|url=https://www.who.int/immunization/sage/meetings/2014/october/1_Report_WORKING_GROUP_vaccine_hesitancy_final.pdf|website=WHO}}</ref>

It can be caused by lack of proper [[science|scientifically]]-based knowledge and understanding about how vaccines are made or how vaccines work and psychological factors, including fear of needles or not trusting public figures and politicians. Some anti-vaxxers believe that vaccines cause [[autism]], which is not true.<ref>{{Cite journal |vauthors=Gerber JS, Offit PA |date=February 2009 |title=Vaccines and autism: a tale of shifting hypotheses |journal=Clinical Infectious Diseases |volume=48 |issue=4 |pages=456–61 |doi=10.1086/596476 |pmc=2908388 |pmid=19128068}}</ref>
