Dengue vaccines face significant challenges, including safety concerns, which contribute to vaccine hesitancy. Addressing this complex issue requires targeted strategies overcome existing barriers. Through an extensive review of current evidence, we identified key factors contributing hesitancy and explored enhance global uptake. Four conceptual models five assessment tools were understand measure Among the factors, "confidence" emerged as most influential, followed by "complacency." Vaccine acceptance rates varied widely, ranging from 53% 95%, depending on region population. Key determinants included population characteristics, concerns about efficacy safety, among others. A comprehensive understanding these is essential improve acceptance, support dengue prevention efforts, ensure public health success.

Abstract Background Vaccine hesitancy has been a significant concern throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. can be attributed to lack of confidence in vaccines, complacency about health threat, or convenience vaccination. To date, few studies have used methods designed include populations underrepresented research when identifying factors associated with vaccine hesitancy. Methods Between January and July 2021, potential participants were recruited from community venues selected through time-location sampling 15 defined communities United States. Study staff administered questionnaire on demographics, behaviors attitudes, vaccination status intention consenting individuals. was analyzed among those age 18 years older nine sites as self-reported neutral, unlikely, very unlikely intention. Logistic regression modeling, adjusted for site, identified Results Among 11,559 individuals, by site ranged 8.7 31.1%. being Black compared White, White Asian, younger age, unstable housing, unemployed, lower income, having disability, providing care home, not reporting inability visit sick elderly relatives during pandemic, increased anxiety spending more time loved ones Conclusions In these US communities, early rollout, there racial disparities Additionally, individuals who marginalized due their socioeconomic likely report campaigns should make efforts remove barriers vaccination, improving convenience.
