Country: Armenia

Mixed method study to examine adult and HCP confidence in vaccination in Eastern Europe (Balkans, Caucasus, Central Asia).

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.

Vaccine confidence in Armenia is high compared to other countries. The latest data we have for Armenia is from surveys conducted in 2019 which showed that 71% of people feel that vaccines are safe and 77% think they are effective. 84% of those surveyed said they believe it’s important for children to have vaccines and 81% feel that vaccines are compatible with their religious beliefs.
