“…Combined with the attendant consequences of COVID-19 lockdown, greater accessibility and utility of the social media during the same period exacerbated the post-truth phenomenon (Apuke and Omar, 2021; Greene et al, 2022). Aside from the stigmatisation of the COVID-19 virus as a ‘Chinese virus’ (Bakare, 2022), there was apprehension against the virus – select government, intergovernmental and private individuals were clubbed together as a collective whole meant to tame the world using the virus as a pretence. During the lockdown, in addition to its many complexions, truth suffered casualty–the truth about the COVID-19 vaccine was blurred by ‘unverifiable information’.…”

Many existing studies and researches have shown the link between vaccine hesitancy and rurality. To test the validity of this assertion, this paper uses COVID-19 vaccine as a reference case and tries to understand vaccine hesitancy in urban communities through the conceptual lens of post-truth. The argument enunciated in the paper is based on data gathered through an online survey, conducted from May to October 2021. Thematically, this paper identified two themes: ‘mistrust’ and ‘misinformation’, revealing the coupling effect of the themes and the intersection of vaccine hesitancy and post-truth in two urban (Islamabad and Rawalpindi) communities of Pakistan. While the discussions were contextual, this paper epistemically shows that the reality of COVID-19 was blurred by misinformation which translated into cynicism, mistrust and hesitancy for COVID-19 vaccine and the outcome proved why health security must be taken seriously, especially in the post-truth era.
