Willingness to Pay for the COVID-19 Vaccine and Its Correlates in Bangladesh: Cross-Sectional Study
With nearly half of the respondents unwilling to pay, this study highlights the need to improve vaccine-related knowledge and enhance income-based affordability to increase WTP. Health promotion efforts should focus on disseminating knowledge about vaccines and addressing negative perceptions. Additionally, a subsidized program for low-income groups can help mitigate financial barriers and promote equitable access to vaccines.
