Our third study of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among 23,000 respondents in 23 countries, surveyed from 29 June to 10 July 2022 found willingness to accept vaccination at 79.1%, up 5.2% from June 2021.

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.

Little is known about how social media platforms can be used to increase COVID-19 vaccine intent. We aimed to investigate the effect of social media-based interventions on vaccine hesitancy in Japan.

The objective of this systematic review was to examine documented uses and evidence on the effectiveness of conversational AI for vaccine communication.

Read the 2022 instalment of the VCPs bi-annual research report “The State of Vaccine Confidence in the EU,” which monitors public attitudes to vaccines across the continent.

In this review article, examples of hesitancy regarding the measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), human papillomavirus (HPV), and COVID-19 vaccines are used to explore the multifaceted issues that fuel vaccine hesitancy. Each of these examples is part of a larger, more complex story.

This literature review (n = 89) summarises evidence on HCPs’ perceptions of the risks and benefits of vaccination, trust, and perceptions of mandatory vaccination in Europe.

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.

In this perspective, we argue that the epidemiological and social crises brought about by COVID-19 have magnified widely held social anxieties and trust issues that, in the unique circumstances of this global pandemic, have exacerbated scepticism toward vaccines.

In this journal article, we draw findings and insights from the VCP’s decade-long monitoring of media and social media and its related research efforts.

This article argues that increased efforts should be placed on developing mechanisms for sharing lessons learnt about strategies that have successfully increased confidence in vaccination in Europe and globally.

The aim of this study was to identify the methods most commonly used for monitoring vaccination-related topics on different social media platforms.
