Vaccine hesitancy among migrant populations in Europe: A mixed-methods systematic review
Vaccine hesitancy among migrants in Europe reflects the interplay of origin-country beliefs, host-society norms, and migration-related vulnerabilities, reinforced by gendered constraints, limited health literacy, informal information networks, and persistent institutional mistrust. Addressing these determinants requires culturally responsive, participatory interventions co-designed with migrant communities, tailored to health literacy needs, and attentive to institutional mistrust and gendered constraints. Further research should examine underrepresented groups, the interaction of gender, migration, and trust, and evolving attitudes across generations to guide sustainable confidence-building strategies.
