Abstract

Castillo and colleagues have described the curious case of Chile's COVID-19 vaccine rollout that how Chile has revealed a great success to vaccine a greater population. Interestingly, there are several factors responsible for that success and a lesson learnt for many countries who are lagging in this regard. Building on these authors arguments, I have defined the "culture of vaccine acceptability." In contrast, I explain the "culture of vaccine rejectability" based on own fieldwork in Pakistan. Chilean case has demonstrated how a culture is developed and influences vaccine uptake. For that, the countries lagging need to engage (medical) anthropologists as they are the culturologists.
