Vaccine hesitancy is a widely noted challenge in the struggle against communicable diseases. This was clearly demonstrated in the Covid-19 vaccine drives in South Africa and the world over. While social responses to vaccines are well documented, the literature tells the story of vaccine hesitancy through a singular focus on individuals who, motivated by various reasons, oppose a public health intervention. Such a one-sided exploration perpetuates the "single story" of vaccine hesitancy and overlooks the role of other actors and processes that may have an influence on how people perceive vaccines. My research looks beyond this "single story" of vaccine hesitancy by adding the dimension of an ethnographic exploration of a wide range of public health professionals — epidemiologists, virologist, pathologists, nurses and registrars — who are tasked with safeguarding the population in Gauteng province against the spread of communicable diseases.A hesitação em vacinar é um desafio amplamente observado na luta contra as doenças transmissíveis. Isto foi claramente demonstrado nas campanhas de vacinação contra a Covid-19 na África do Sul e em todo o mundo. Embora as respostas sociais às vacinas estejam bem documentadas, a literatura conta a história da hesitação vacinal através de um enfoque particular nos indivíduos que, motivados por várias razões, se opõem a uma intervenção de saúde pública. Esta análise unilateral perpetua a "história única" da hesitação em vacinar e deixa de observar o papel de outros atores e processos que podem ter influência em como as pessoas percebem as vacinas. Minha investigação vai além desta "história única" da hesitação vacinal, acrescentando a dimensão de uma exploração etnográfica de uma ampla gama de profissionais de saúde pública – epidemiologistas, virologistas, patologistas, enfermeiros e responsáveis pelos registros oficiais — que têm a tarefa de proteger a população na província de Gauteng contra a propagação de doenças transmissíveis.Keywords: Covid-19National Institute for Communicable Diseasessingle storystudying upvaccine hesitancyvaccine-derived polio virus
