Psychometric validation of the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy scale for primary and booster doses among university students: A cross-sectional study
Our adapted scales performed well psychometrically to measure VH across different COVID-19 vaccine phases. These scales can help in identifying key barriers of VH to understand shifting trajectories over time, thereby informing targeted interventions to promote vaccination uptake among younger adults.
