This review quantified the association of vaccine literacy (VL) and vaccination intention status. PubMed, Scopus, Web Science were searched. Any study, published until December 2022, that investigated associations interest eligible. For each outcome, articles grouped according to administrated results narratively synthesized. Inverse-variance random-effect models used compare standardized mean values in VL domain(s) between two groups: individuals willing vs. unwilling get vaccinated, vaccinated unvaccinated. 18 studies shows strongly predicts while its with status is attenuated barely significant, suggesting other factors influence actual uptake. However, given scarce evidence available, heterogeneity methods applied some limitations included, further research should be conducted confirm role decision-making process.
