Supporting LNCT countries in assessing and addressing their vaccine hesitancy: Report of interviews with in-country stakeholders

LNCT is a platform dedicated to supporting countries as they transition away from Gavi support to full domestic financing of their national immunisation programs.

The VCP-Africa CDC working group has been conducting quantitative research in multiple waves from 2020 to 2022.

This report uses VCP data from 2015 – May 2021 to assess local barriers and drivers to adult vaccine uptake in Low – Middle Income Countries, with a view to supporting the development of targeted interventions and programs.

To identify knowledge gaps, beliefs and attitudes in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among adults in the Asia-Pacific region, the Vaccine Confidence Project conducted two waves of quantitative research in 2021 and 2022.

In 2018, the European Commission engaged the Vaccine Confidence Project to create the first “State of Vaccine Confidence in the EU” report. Since then, the VCP has conducted bi-annual research to map and monitor public attitudes to vaccines across the region and examine trends over time.

The UNICEF Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia (UNICEF ECARO) and the VCP worked in partnership to better understand the impact of social media on caregivers’ attitudes, beliefs, trust, immunisation intention and uptake.
