This publication accompanies the The State of the World’s Children 2023 report, which was developed by UNICEF in collaboration with the VCP and uses Vaccine Confidence Index data from 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2022. There are differences in the estimates of vaccine confidence between the SOWC report and this publication due to differences in methodological approaches. Our publication uses weighted individual data and also groups all pre- and post-pandemic surveys into a single cohort, rather than use the most recent survey available in each cohort. We note that this manuscript is a draft and is not peer-reviewed.
