Associations between parental vaccine hesitancy, religion-based vaccine hesitancy, and childhood full vaccination in a cross-sectional study in Aceh, Indonesia, 2023
We found that religious-based vaccine concerns were highly prominent in this population, and likely a large contributor to vaccine hesitancy. Efforts to improve vaccination coverage should focus on addressing religious concerns and working closely with religious leaders to build trust and disseminate accurate information about vaccines.
