Abstract
This study defines key issues for sustainable healthcare policy in COVID-19 period. For this purpose, 9 different criteria that affect vaccine hesitancy are selected with the help of a detailed literature evaluation. A novel hybrid fuzzy decision-making model is developed using DEMATEL and TOPSIS based on q-Rung orthopair fuzzy sets. A comparative evaluation has also been performed using IF DEMATEL and PF DEMATEL. The results of all different methods are almost the same that indicates the reliability and coherency of the proposed model. The findings demonstrate that religion is the most critical factor that causes vaccine hesitancy. It is also defined that active population in daily life is the most important alternative. Developing countries should mainly focus on the actions regarding the religious issues to have sustainable healthcare policies in COVID-19 period. In this context, religious leaders can be released to the media and give information that the vaccine is not against religious rules. This has a significant contribution to convince people who are against the vaccine. Furthermore, these countries should also give priorities to the active population in daily life. Because this group supports the workforce in the country very seriously, it can be possible to increase the workforce in the country by completing the vaccination of this group that helps to boost economic development.
Highlights
Finding vaccines against the COVID-19 virus has been a hope for countries
Not knowing the effectiveness of the vaccines is another significant problem with respect to the vaccine hesitancy
A new model is created by considering Decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) and TOPSIS based on q-Rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFs)
Summary
Finding vaccines against the COVID-19 virus has been a hope for countries. The problem of anti-vaccination has emerged in some parts of the countries. Some people think that vaccines may have side effects [2]. Because some people think that vaccines are not religiously appropriate, this problem has increased [3]. Some precautions should be taken for these countries to overcome vaccine hesitancy problem [4]. A vaccination campaign with role models in the country may be helpful. Statements by politicians, religious leaders, and movie actors can encourage people to get vaccinated. Some restrictions may be imposed within the country for those who are not vaccinated [5]
