Abstract

The aim: The aim of the article is to analyse the socio-psychological barriers to the COVID-19 vaccination process in the world and in Ukraine. Materials and methods: Electronic databases of Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed were searching using keyword searches. Conclusions: The implementation of an effective scientific strategy of health education and communication between representatives of the medical sphere and representatives of different social groups, gender and age is relevant today. At the moment it is difficult for the medical community and society to give an unambiguous assessment of the facts about COVID-19, because it is still unknown about the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individual. To increase the vaccination coverage, vaccination evidence should be standardized and a choice of conditions, algorithm of beliefs instead of a standard approach should be proposed. Further research on individual health benefits is needed to identify and address socio-psychological barriers on COVID-19 vaccine acceptance.
