Table 1. For Government Officials and Policy Makers.

1 The government should create some community engagement programs that may educate the public about the importance of vaccination. For example, a few months ago, the mass immunization campaign “Typebar T.C.V.” in Lyari Town, Karachi, depicted a massive engagement from the public. As a result, many people got vaccinated, which also affirmed the importance of mass vaccination programs to eradicate vaccine hesitancy [78].
2 Social Mobilization campaigns, especially in remote areas, are in need today. For this purpose, tactical strategies can help increase the social mobilization process [78].
3 Families play an essential role in the vaccination-related decision-making process. In this regard, if the government initiates community awareness through different social institutions, they can help the families to get vaccinated. As both father and mother are significant components of the family, they can make a favorable decision and require the other members to get vaccinated as well [74].
4 The sale of vaccines should be banned, and people need to be immunized based on their eligibility and priority. Additionally, the government of Pakistan should redouble its efforts and take necessary measures before anti-vaccine rumors penetrate the local community [12].
5 The registration mechanism should be rapid and efficient enough to immunize such a large population. Regarding vaccine administrations, concerns should be proactively addressed, and misconceptions should not be permitted to prevail [12].
6 Bring necessary improvements to the local healthcare system and focus more on building trust in the healthcare system. As noted by [13], it is essential to pay attention to our shabby and depilated healthcare system, which may also reinforce the public to take every possible measure to halt the outbreak.
