By providing multinational data on COVID-19 vaccine acceptance over three years, this new study can help policymakers address vaccine hesitancy more effectively. Acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines increased globally, from 75.2% in 2021 to 79.1% in 2022, according to a survey in 23 countries that rep
According to a survey of 23 countries, representing over 60% of the world’s population, global acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines rose from 75.2% in 2021 to 79.1% in 2022. However, there were some setbacks as vaccine acceptance declined in 8 countries. Additionally, the survey revealed that some vaccinated individuals, particularly younger men and women, were hesitant about getting a booster dose.
“The pandemic is not over, and authorities must urgently address vaccine hesitancy and resistance as part of their COVID-19 prevention and mitigation strategy,” says Jeffrey V Lazarus, Head of the Health Systems Research Group at ISGlobal, an institution supported by “la Caixa” Foundation. To do so effectively, though, policy-makers need solid data on vaccine hesitancy trends and drivers .
Of the 23,000 respondents , 79.1% were willing to accept vaccination. This finding represented an increase of 5.2% from June 2021. The willingness of parents to vaccinate their children also rose slightly, from 67.6% in 2021 to 69.5% in 2022. However, eight countries observed increased hesitancy . Worryingly, almost one in eight vaccinated respondents were hesitant about booster doses. This hesitancy was higher among the younger age groups .
Also, almost 40% of respondents reported paying less attention to new COVID-19 information than before and having less support for vaccine mandates.In some countries, vaccine hesitancy was associated with variables like female sex , no university degree , or lower income . Further, the profile of people paying less attention to the pandemic varied among countries.
