Vaccination research, explained
11 open-access vaccination studies, each with a flashcard deck and a quiz.
- What predicts COVID-19 vaccine willingness
About two-thirds of surveyed adults were ready to vaccinate; perceived risk, news sources, and partisanship shaped willingness.
- Parents and school HPV uptake
In BC’s free school HPV program, about 65% of surveyed parents reported first-dose receipt—lower than concurrent hepatitis B and meningitis C consent rates.
- Shingles vaccine cut zoster by about half
In older US adults, herpes zoster vaccination showed ~48% effectiveness against incident zoster and ~59–62% against post-herpetic neuralgia.
- COVID vaccine acceptance in Libya
Willingness to take a COVID-19 vaccine rose with assumed efficacy—about 80% if efficacy was ≥90%, but only about 41% if 50%.
- TPB best predicted COVID vaccine hesitancy
Among Bangladeshi adults, COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy was common (41.1%), and the Theory of Planned Behavior explained more variance than HBM or 5C models.
- As chickenpox shots rose, what happened to shingles?
In Massachusetts, higher childhood varicella vaccine coverage tracked with less varicella but more reported herpes zoster—causality still uncertain.
- Who decides about adolescent vaccines—and what blocks uptake?
Adolescents, parents, and clinicians shared overlapping and conflicting views on adolescent vaccination barriers and how to improve decisions.
- COVID-19 vaccine intention in BC
About 80% of surveyed British Columbians said they were somewhat or very likely to take a recommended COVID-19 vaccine.
- Seasonal vs pandemic flu vaccine coverage
In France, seasonal influenza coverage stayed near 21% while pandemic H1N1 coverage was only about 11%.
- What predicts full childhood immunization in Senegal
Only 62.8% of Senegalese children 12–23 months were fully immunized; maternal education, wealth, and antenatal care strongly predicted coverage.
- How complete is infant vaccination in three West African DHS surveys?
Among 5,368 infants 0–12 months in The Gambia, Sierra Leone, and Liberia, only about 15% were fully vaccinated; postnatal care raised odds, while limited ANC, no TV, and father’s primary education lowered them.
