The Vaccine Confidence Project team regularly publishes articles, reviews and other academic writing in leading journals. Our publications analyse global trends in vaccine confidence and provide deep insight into the spatio-temporal dynamics of vaccine confidence across the world.
This study assesses the effectiveness of a vaccine chatbot in improving human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among female middle school students aged 12–15 years across diverse socioeconomic settings in China, where HPV vaccination is primarily paid out-of-pocket.
We conducted a social listening analysis to assess attitudes towards mRNA vaccines and therapeutics on Twitter from June 2022 to May 2023. Our findings reveal widespread negative sentiment and a global lack of confidence in mRNA vaccines and therapeutics, with frequent discussions of severe vaccine side effects, rumors, and misinformation.
Influenza vaccination coverage in South Africa is less than 3% among the general adult population. We explored factors associated with influenza vaccine uptake using the World Health Organization’s Strategic Advisory Group on Immunization (SAGE) 3C (confidence, complacency, convenience) model of vaccine hesitancy.
This paper offers two scenarios to argue for the possibilities of building trust during crises by engaging with existing distrust, with special reference to examples during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vaccine confidence remains a global public health challenge, especially highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to expand the scope of HCPs’ vaccine confidence oversight into European regions where limited research has been conducted thus far.
This study used a mixed-methods pre-test-post-test intervention design to test the effectiveness of tailored, context-specific education and community engagement – including community and social media – to increase influenza vaccination uptake in Soweto, South Africa.
Trust is fundamental to cooperation, essential in times of crisis. Researching and understanding trust networks and perceptions of trustworthiness is therefore crucial in preparing for future health shocks, write Heidi Larson and colleagues.
As health narratives in the climate change discourse become more visible, the intersection of health and climate change will soon become a critical area vulnerable to misinformation and disinformation campaigns.
Using global survey data from 15,696 respondents across seventeen Western Pacific and African countries, collected between May 2022 and January 2023, we estimated the unmet demand for vaccines and examined its predictors.
Using 5,584 survey responses from people who had received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose based on a four-round survey between May and November 2022, we examined various factors that affect booster vaccine uptake and the willingness to take an additional shot.
The objective of this systematic review was to examine documented uses and evidence on the effectiveness of conversational AI for vaccine communication.
Public opposition to COVID-19 vaccine mandates was reported globally. This opposition has resulted in diminished uptake of standard childhood vaccines.
