How well does vaccine literacy predict intention to vaccinate and vaccination status? A systematic review and meta-analysis

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 20(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 4, 2024

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.

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 8(3), С. 159 - 159

Опубликована: Март 5, 2023

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues and transitions to an endemic stage, booster vaccines will play important role in personal public health. However, convincing people take boosters be a key obstacle. This study systematically analyzed research that examined predictors of vaccine hesitancy. A search PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, Web Science, Scopus uncovered 42 eligible studies. Globally, average vaccination hesitancy rate was 30.72%. Thirteen factors influencing emerged from literature: demographics (gender, age, education, income, occupation, employment status, ethnicity, marital status), geographical influences (country, region, residency), adverse events, perceived benefit/efficacy, susceptibility, severity, prior history infection, recommendations, health knowledge information, skepticism/distrust/conspiracy theories, type. Vaccine communication campaigns interventions for COVID should focus on confidence, complacency, convenience.

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 19(1)

To address vaccine hesitancy, specific self-rated tools have been developed to assess literacy (VL) related COVID-19, including additional variables, such as beliefs, behavior, and willingness be vaccinated. explore the recent literature a search was performed selecting articles published between January 2020 October 2022: 26 papers were identified using these in context of COVID-19. Descriptive analysis showed that levels VL observed studies generally agreement, with functional score often lower than interactive-critical dimension, if latter stimulated by COVID-19-related infodemic. Factors associated included vaccination status, age, educational level, and, possibly, gender. Effective communication based on when promoting is critical sustaining immunization against COVID-19 other communicable diseases. The scales date shown good consistency.

A fundamental basis for effective health-related policymaking of any democratic nation should be open and transparent communication between a government its citizens, including scientists healthcare professionals, to foster climate trust, especially during the ongoing COVID-19 mass vaccination campaign. Since misinformation is leading cause vaccine hesitancy, data sharing through an evidence-based approach may render health strategies developed by policymakers with public more effective, allowing claims that are not backed scientific evidence tackled. In this narrative review, we debate possible causes hesitancy links epidemic. We also put forward plausible solutions as recommended in literature.

While considerable evidence supports the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, a sizable population expresses vaccine hesitancy. As per World Health Organization, hesitancy is one top 10 hazards to global health. Vaccine varies across countries, with India reporting least was higher toward booster doses than previous shots. Therefore, identifying factors determining hesitance (VBH) sine qua non successful vaccination campaign.This systematic review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-analysis (PRISMA) 2020 standards. A total 982 articles were pooled from Scopus, PubMed Embase, while 42 that addressed VBH finally included further analysis.We identified responsible divided them into three major groups: sociodemographic, financial, psychological.
