Based on his comments, we can infer:

b. Vogue feels the image has been misinterpreted.

Explanation:

If we contextualize this, it will be easier to answer. Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen and famous professional basketball player Lebron James posed for the cover of the fashion magazine Vogue. The cover caused controversy because it seemed to reinforce stereotypes concerning different races. The picture was even compared to King Kong posters, since James posed in a beast-like way, his hand around Bundchen's waist.

As we can see, Vogue spokesperson Patrick O'Connell does not agree with that interpretation of the cover. He thinks Gisele and Lebron look good, not seeing any problem with the photo. He does not mention or imply anything about starting a constructive conversation about race. He is basically defending the magazine's decision to use that photo. We can, therefore, safely infer Vogue feels the image has been misinterpreted.

the percentage of who member states incorporating seasonal influenza vaccination into national immunization programs remains low with significant regional variations. high vaccine and service costs, competing health priorities, difficulties in measuring vaccine efficacy and cost–effectiveness, and adverse public opinion regarding vaccination all influence the policy decisions affecting national immunization programs.

effectively communicating the benefit of influenza vaccination is an essential component to increase the vaccine uptake and inclusion into national influenza immunization programmes. firstly, these benefits need to be understood by the key players that promote vaccination at national level (health promotion departments and healthcare workers). health care workers are increasingly important in influencing vaccination choices, and new appro
