Conspiratorial thought and the COVID-19 vaccination in Serbian Southeastern Europe

Misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories, and negative politicization of the COVID-19 health crisis tend to undermine the health care efforts across the globe. Vaccination against COVID-19 is the path toward prevention and containment of COVID-19, as well as socio-economic recovery. As 2020 came to an end, Serbian Southeastern Europe initiated its vaccination efforts with the American Pfitzer-BioNTech. Since receiving Serbia’s national medicines regulator agency’s authorisation to proceed with the use of the Russian Sputnik V on 31 December 2020, Serbia is to onboard the vaccination using Sputnik V vaccine to supply the vaccine demands of the population.
