3.
A key contributor to vaccine hesitancy is:
• A. Lack of vaccine availability
• B. Mistrust in medical institutions
• C. Increased adverse reactions
• D. Insufficient cold-chain storage
, Correct Answer: B

Clinical decision-making under uncertainty most often relies on:
• A. Intuition alone
• B. Bayesian reasoning
• C. Absolute diagnostic certainty
• D. Trial-and-error therapy
