Mental health and psychosocial factors predicting concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine among refugee background and Australian-born women
Young mothers with mental health problems and lower education need to be sensitively targeted to improve COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Mental health and public health professionals need to be aware of differences reported for women from refugee background. Improved quality of life and economic status will increase vaccine uptake among socioeconomically challenged communities.
