There are numerous reasons why people don't get vaccinated, including cost, access to information about vaccinations, and beliefs or misconceptions about the safety and efficacy of vaccines.

Cost can be a huge barrier for some individuals when it comes to getting vaccinated. Vaccines can be quite expensive and insurance coverage may not cover all necessary doses or available vaccinations. Access to health care services is also another factor: in some areas, quality healthcare is simply out of reach for many people due to distance and availability of providers.

When it comes to access to information on vaccinations, many individuals lack the education or resources needed to make informed decisions about their health choices. Misinformation found online or through social media platforms–such as anti-vaccination conspiracy theories–can lead people away from vaccinating themselves or those they love. Additionally, family members’ views on vaccination can also affect an individual's decision whether they should get vaccinated; this includes religious beliefs which have been linked with hesitancy toward vaccination in certain social groups (e.g., Muslims).

Finally, there are beliefs that exist among some communities around the world questioning the safety and efficacy of vaccines—that false claim has further led these groups away from vaccinating against diseases like measles or polio despite consistent evidence showing otherwise in scientific research . This lack of trust towards modern medicine could ultimately put whole communities at risk due epidemics if enough individuals refuse vaccinations by choice rather than inability. Ultimately understanding why someone doesn’t want a vaccine is key as education campaigns often focus on providing scientifically accurate information for those who need it most rather than pushing any agenda related to vaccine use such as seen within school systems where mandatory circumcision laws exist in some states.*
