Public Health in the Age of Anxiety explores the religious and cultural motivations driving vaccine hesitancy in Canada. Contributors from fields such as philosophy, epidemiology and religious studies analyze how personal beliefs intersect with community safety and public policy.

The essays critically assess debates around vaccine safety, the spread of anti-vaccination sentiment and the public dissemination of medical research. By examining historical trends and contemporary challenges, the volume offers a nuanced understanding of tension between individual rights and collective well-being.

Key themes:

  • Religious and cultural factors influencing personal health decisions
  • Interdisciplinary analysis of vaccine safety and public perception
  • Impact of private beliefs on public health policy
  • Engagement strategies to bridge divides between opposing viewpoints

This collection encourages informed dialogue and practical engagement, providing readers with insights to navigate and address vaccine hesitancy within diverse communities.
