Description
Ana Isabel do Nascimento and co-authors survey vaccine hesitancy in Campo Grande, a city in central-western Brazil, in a 2026 study. Falling vaccine uptake is a worry for health officials worldwide. The team visited households between September 2022 and October 2023 and interviewed 518 people from 467 homes.
Just over half of those interviewed hesitated over at least one vaccine, and COVID-19 shots drew the most doubt. Most reasons given pointed to low confidence in vaccines, one of three classic drivers in the World Health Organization model the team used. Hesitant residents tended to be younger than the rest. Where people got their vaccine news also mattered. The authors link both age and information sources to hesitancy in their statistical models.
