Haiti, a country in the Caribbean, has been experiencing a slow uptake of COVID-19 vaccines.
Customer preferences: One of the main reasons for the slow uptake of vaccines in Haiti is due to hesitancy among the population. This hesitancy is due to a lack of trust in the government and healthcare system, as well as misinformation and conspiracy theories circulating on social media. Additionally, many Haitians have a preference for traditional medicine and natural remedies over Western medicine.
Trends in the market: Despite the slow uptake of vaccines, there has been an increase in the number of vaccines being administered in Haiti in recent months. This increase is due to donations from other countries, such as the United States and Taiwan, as well as the rollout of the COVAX initiative. However, the number of vaccines being administered is still relatively low compared to other countries in the region.
Local special circumstances: Haiti has faced numerous challenges in its COVID-19 response, including political instability, economic hardship, and a lack of healthcare infrastructure. The country has also been dealing with the aftermath of a devastating earthquake and tropical storm, which has further strained its resources. These challenges have made it difficult for the government to effectively distribute and administer vaccines.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, with a GDP per capita of less than $1,300. The country has been facing economic hardship for years, with high levels of unemployment and poverty. This economic hardship has made it difficult for the government to fund its healthcare system and respond effectively to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the country has a high debt burden and limited access to international financing, which has further constrained its ability to respond to the crisis.
