Vaccination Attitudes in the Adult Population of Kazakhstan: A Nationally Representative Cross-Sectional Study
Anti-vaccination attitudes in Kazakhstan exhibit a multidimensional structure and clear socio-demographic patterning. Concerns about long-term safety were the most prominent attitudinal domain, whereas mistrust of vaccine benefit was comparatively less pronounced. Territorial differences were domain-specific rather than uniform, supporting the need for targeted communication strategies tailored to specific attitudinal domains and population subgroups.
