With COVID-19 coming to an end, the challenges faced in its epidemic prevention process will undoubtedly play an exemplary role in the large-scale public health crisis that may be faced in the future. Among them, the promotion of vaccination is the first to bear the brunt. As one of the most effective means to curb the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, the complete vaccination rate is not satisfactory in some countries, such as the United States. This is because, as a complex issue, the reasons for its emergence involve conflicts and trust between government credibility, race, culture, and religion. This article provides a detailed analysis of the reasons for the low complete vaccination rate in the United States and corresponding solutions. At the same time, it is expected that when other countries encounter similar government credibility crises or large-scale public health crises in the future, the example of the United States can be used as an effective reference.
