Abstract

A specific aspect of the pandemic was the development and roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccination. This chapter discusses how the multilingual communities of the study engaged with the vaccine and presents examples of different attitudes and responses. The main themes of the chapter resonate with the wider book but are amplified through the specific context of the vaccine. They relate to reliability and trust, availability of information, and the use of information from both within and beyond the United Kingdom to come to a better understanding of the vaccine.
