No specific date can be set for the post-corona era. To this end, it is necessary for people to trust their governments in the scientific results obtained in relation to effective vaccines. Given the many consequences of getting the COVID-19 vaccine in physical, social, economic, cultural, and psychological dimensions, it is necessary to take measures to make the public more aware of the benefits of the vaccine. Also, by holding workshops to introduce the benefits of vaccination for groups that oppose the vaccination process, a step can be taken to increase public awareness of the importance of vaccination. In order to investigate the role of the vaccine injection process in promoting mental health, it is suggested that some studies be conducted in this field in Iran.
