Coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine barriers and incentives to uptake: literature review
This literature review examines UK sources on barriers and incentives to uptake of COVID-19 vaccines and refers to the WHO SAGE “3Cs model” (complacency, convenience and confidence) to report findings.
Objectives and research questions
This literature review analyses UK research on vaccine uptake. It aims to shed light on the barriers that may have caused certain groups to disengage from the Covid-19 vaccination programme. The analysis of the sources presented here suggests answers to the following research questions:
- How does knowledge and understanding of Covid-19 affect vaccine uptake?
- What are the practical and physical barriers to uptake encountered by the eligible population?
- To what extent do concerns about vaccine safety cause people to disengage from the programme?
- What is the role played in vaccine uptake by broader beliefs and attitudes?
- What lessons can be learned that may help to engage lower uptake groups better?
