Determinants of vaccination willingness among people experiencing homelessness: a cross-sectional study in Warsaw, Poland

About two-thirds of respondents were willing to vaccinate. Reluctance was most strongly associated with lower perceived vaccine effectiveness and personal benefit. Interventions should address these beliefs and prospectively evaluate whether changes to them translate into greater willingness and, ultimately, higher uptake.

Abstract

About two-thirds of respondents were willing to vaccinate. Reluctance was most strongly associated with lower perceived vaccine effectiveness and personal benefit. Interventions should address these beliefs and prospectively evaluate whether changes to them translate into greater willingness and, ultimately, higher uptake.
