Influenza vaccination coverage in South Africa is less than 3% among the general adult population. We explored factors associated with influenza vaccine uptake using the World Health Organization’s Strategic Advisory Group on Immunization (SAGE) 3C (confidence, complacency, convenience) model of vaccine hesitancy.
Topic: Qualitative Research
This series of studies highlights the importance of adopting constructive approaches to restoring public health confidence in vaccination, particularly mRNA vaccines.
Vaccine confidence remains a global public health challenge, especially highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to expand the scope of HCPs’ vaccine confidence oversight into European regions where limited research has been conducted thus far.
This study aimed to investigate the uptake status and reasons of childhood influenza vaccination during the pandemic in China.
Mixed method study to examine adult and HCP confidence in vaccination in Eastern Europe (Balkans, Caucasus, Central Asia).
Mixed method study to explore risk perceptions and emotional determinants of health around COVID-19 and influenza vaccination in Europe.
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.
This research aims to develop and evaluate a suite of feasible interventions based on artificial intelligence technologies checking extensions, real-time dashboards, and chatbots – that improve the ability to debunk misinformation, boost self-efficacy in the vaccination decision-making process.
This research applies communication and behavioural theories to comprehensively assess confidence in and acceptance of HPV vaccines in Japan, Korea, and China amongst people who have not received the vaccine, in order to develop effective digital communication strategies to increase uptake.

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.
Our research aims to reverse the decline in immunisation coverage in children, increase vaccine uptake in adults and reduce inequalities in the vaccine service.
