Abstract

Prevention and control of communicable diseases is crucial to ensure global health security. Vaccination represents a fundamental tool to limit the progression and dissemination of infectious agents, including influenza and COVID-19. Successful vaccination strategies depend on public perceptions, including risk perceptions, and trust. Despite the well-established links between public perceptions and successful vaccine adoption by the population, a comprehensive evaluation of the perceptions of the Portuguese population in the post-COVID-19 era, particularly those with a previous diagnosis of Chronic Respiratory Disease (CRD), is still lacking.
