Socioeconomic Status and Perceived Threat: Factors Contributing to Vaccine Hesitancy during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Author(s): Jain Philip*

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on public health, economies, and societies around the world. The emergence of vaccines has been a significant milestone in the fight against the pandemic, but vaccine hesitancy remains a concern for many countries. In recent months, researchers have been exploring the factors that contribute to vaccine hesitancy, including socioeconomic status, perceived threat, and healthism.

Socioeconomic status refers to a person's position in society, determined by factors such as income, education, and occupation. Several studies have found that individuals with lower socioeconomic status are more likely to be vaccine hesitant. This may be due to a lack of trust in the healthcare system, limited access to healthcare services, or a lack of information about vaccines.
