“…We noticed this aspect outside of the theoretical frameworks. This observation matches studies indicating an overall decrease in vaccine confidence rates after the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 in comparison to pre-pandemic times (32). In addition to general vaccine hesitancy, the COVID-19 vaccine also worried people with safety concerns because of the quick development or perceived lack of efficiency of the vaccine.…”

“…Monitoring COVID-19 vaccine uptake in Germany, the studies COSMO and COVIMO both identified safety concerns, low-risk perception of COVID-19, and distrust as the main reasons inhibiting the willingness to get vaccinated (30,31). Similar reasons for vaccinehesitant behavior among people in secure living situations were identified in international studies (32). Regarding determinants influencing vaccine uptake and access to the vaccine among PEH, a few studies have been conducted.…”

IntroductionPeople experiencing homelessness face lower life expectancy, higher prevalence of somatic and mental diseases and a more difficult access to healthcare compared to people in secure living. During the COVID-19 pandemic transmission rates were higher among people experiencing homelessness and preventive public health measures were not properly adapted to the specific needs of people experiencing homelessness. Thus, goal of our study was understanding the determinants of acceptability and access of the COVID-19 vaccine.Materials and methodsWe conducted a qualitative interview study with twenty guideline interviews with adult people currently experiencing homelessness in Berlin, Germany (August 2021 – April 2022). Participants were approached in a purposive sampling strategy. The interviews were analyzed with qualitative content analysis according to Mayring.ResultsAcceptance and attitude toward the COVID-19 vaccine is influenced by confidence in the vaccine as well as in the political and healthcare system, the individual COVID-19 risk perception and sense of collective responsibility. Overall, the acceptance of the vaccine was high among our participants. Facilities offering low threshold COVID-19 vaccines for people experiencing homelessness were perceived as helpful. Language barriers and the need for identity documents were major barriers to access the COVID 19 vaccine.DiscussionPeople experiencing homelessness are a marginalized and vulnerable group often underrepresented in the public and scientific discourse. During the COVID-19 pandemic, preventive public health measures, including the COVID-19 vaccine, failed to consider specific needs of people experiencing homelessness. Multidimensional strategy to enhance inclusive healthcare are needed to improve access and to reduce discrimination and stigmatization.

“…However, the scale of vaccine hesitancy in many parts of Europe was still surprising, especially given a context where the virus and the associated disease targeted by the vaccines presented such a clear and immediate danger. Moreover, vaccine hesitancy proved largely resistant to government appeals and only weakly responsive to policy interventions [ 7 ].…”
