“…Likewise, a multinational study of physicians practicing homeopathy, 77% of whom came from Latin American countries, found that 75.6% considered vaccination safe, effective, and necessary, although 12.5% would not recommend it under any circumstance [49].

Users of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) have a lower intention to receive vaccines. Furthermore, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region are among the most affected areas by the COVID-19 pandemics and present a high proportion of CAM users. Therefore, this study evaluates the association between the consumption of herbal supplements or homeopathic remedies to prevent COVID-19 and the intention to vaccinate against COVID-19 in the LAC region. We conducted a secondary data analysis of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) survey with Facebook to assess COVID-19 beliefs, behaviours, and norms. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) with their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated using generalized linear models of the Poisson family with the log link function. The prevalence of the use of products to prevent COVID-19 was the following: consumption of herbal supplements (7.2%), use of homeopathic remedies (4.8%), and consumption of garlic, ginger, and lemon (11.8%). An association was found between using herbal supplements (19.0% vs. 12.8%; aPR = 1.44; 95% CI: 1.30–1.58), the use of homeopathic remedies (20.3% vs. 12.3%; aPR = 1.58; 95% CI: 1.25–1.98), and the consumption of garlic, ginger, and lemon (18.9% vs. 11.9%; aPR = 1.55; 95% CI: 1.50–1.61) and non-intention to vaccinate against COVID-19. In the LAC population, there is an association between using herbal supplements, using homeopathic remedies and consuming garlic, ginger, and lemon to prevent infection by COVID-19 and non-intention to vaccinate against this disease. Therefore, it is necessary to design targeted strategies for groups that consume these products as preventive measures against COVID-19 to increase vaccination coverage and expand the information regarding transmission and prevention strategies for SARS-CoV-2.

ZusammenfassungImpfungen werden in Medizin, Gesellschaft und Politik schon immer kontrovers diskutiert und sind ein Thema, das die Gemüter erhitzt. Auch innerhalb der homöopathisch arbeitenden Ärzteschaft gab es in den letzten 200 Jahren verschiedene Strömungen und Entwicklungen.90% der Impfungen werden von niedergelassenen Ärzten durchgeführt, diese sind daher zur Aufklärung und Beratung der Patienten verpflichtet. Als Leitlinien und zur Orientierung bei Impffragen stehen aktuelle Empfehlungen der jeweiligen Gesundheitsministerien zur Verfügung.Bestimmte homöopathische Arzneien genießen den Status, als besonders für Impffolgen geeignet zu sein.
