The latest WHO/UNICEF estimates of national childhood immunisation coverage have revealed the largest declines in routine immunisation uptake globally in three decades. Through a large-scale retrospective modelling study, we investigate the extent to which vaccine confidence has changed globally using pre- and post-pandemic.

Polarized debates about COVID-19 vaccination and vaccine mandates for healthcare workers (HCWs) challenge Belgian HCWs ability to discuss Covid-19 vaccine sentiments with peers and patients.
Our third study of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among 23,000 respondents in 23 countries, surveyed from 29 June to 10 July 2022 found willingness to accept vaccination at 79.1%, up 5.2% from June 2021.
In this large-scale multi-country study, we explored intent to accept a COVID-19 vaccine and the socio-demographic and emotional determinants of uptake for 17 countries.
A mixed-methods approach was used including an online survey in 15 countries which aimed to determine drivers of HCPs vaccine confidence and examine how these drivers vary across nations.

Japan has one of the highest vaccine hesitancy rates in the world. However, few studies have assessed how mobile messenger apps affect COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. This study used a cross-sectional survey to assess the impact of text messages from Corowa-kun – a free chatbot – on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy amongst users.
