Country: Solomon Islands

Vaccine confidence in the Solomon Islands is average compared to other countries. The data we have for the Solomon Islands is from surveys conducted in 2021 which showed that 73% of people feel that vaccines are safe and 72% think they are effective. 69% of those surveyed said they believe it’s important for children to have vaccines and 44% feel that vaccines are compatible with their religious beliefs.

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.
