“…Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have been conducted in different countries regarding COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy [11][12][13][14][15][16]. Studies in Turkey have shown that COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy ranges from 2% to 98% [17,18]. However, there is no systematic review and metaanalysis on this subject in Turkey.…”

This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to estimate the prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine hesitancy in Turkey, which can aid future health policies and strategies. A comprehensive search was conducted on various databases using keywords related to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Turkey. Quality assessment was performed using Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist for prevalence studies. Data extraction was conducted. The random effect model (DerSimonian and Laird method) was used in pooled prevalence data analysis (95% confidence interval [CI]). A total of 1,072 articles were identified. After removing duplicates and excluding articles, 61 articles remained for bias assessment. Among these, 19 articles with low risk of bias were included in the review and meta-analysis. Total population included in the analysis was 15,164, vaccine hesitancy was 30.5% (95% Cl: 24.3–36.8%). Prevalence of the vaccine hesitancy was found to be 39.8% (95% Cl: 31.4–48.2%) in studies conducted before the initiation of vaccination, while in studies conducted after the commencement of vaccination, hesitancy was 20.4% (95% Cl: 12.9–28%). We suggest conducting high-quality studies in different populations to understand the level of vaccine hesitancy, as many of the previous studies have mainly focused on healthcare workers and students, and rest were community-based studies, which have generally shown high bias. Also, we suggest that early vaccination can reduce vaccine hesitancy.

“…All the studies were performed in gynecological or maternal units at public or private hospitals. Recruitment was performed by inviting consecutive women attending the clinic in approximately half of the cases (n = 25/43) [2,20,[24][25][26]29,30,33,35,[37][38][39][40]42,44,46,47,49,[51][52][53][54]56,60,61], random sampling was employed in four studies (n = 4), antenatal care registry was used in three studies (n = 3) [21,36,59], convenience sampling was adopted in other three studies (n = 3) [27,28,32], multistage sampling approach was used in two studies (n = 2) [55,58], the snow-ball method was used in one study (n = 1) [22], and one study used data from an ongoing prospective longitudinal cohort study (n = 1) [50]. Four studies did not specify the recruitment method adopted [23,31,45,48].…”

“…In approximately half of the studies, questionnaires were administered face-to-face (n = 21/43) [2,21,26,30,34,35,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]56,58,61], however, two of them combined the faceto-face interview with the on-line administration [44,61]. Seven studies used on-line administration [24,[27][28][29]33,54,60], five studies performed a self-administration (paperbased) [22,32,37,49,51] and two studies used a telephone administration [36,50].…”

“…Regarding tools used to assess the outcome of interest, in the vast majority of the included studies, authors developed ad hoc questionnaire (n = 37/43). Eectronic medical records were used in two studies [23,59], while two studies used a pre-developed questionnaire (respectively the Vaccination Attitude Examination scale [28] and the Attitude toward COVID-19 vaccine scale [39]). Lastly, the remaining two studies did not provide the information [35,42].…”

Eight studies declared source of funds [32,33,[49][50][51]54,55,61], whereas, the remaining did not report the information.…”

The risk of unfavourable outcomes for SARS-CoV-2 infection is significant during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Vaccination is a safe and effective measure to lower this risk. This study aims at reviewing the literature concerning the anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine’s acceptance/hesitancy among pregnant and breastfeeding women attending hospital facilities. A systematic review of literature was carried out. Hospital-based observational studies related to vaccination acceptance, hesitancy, knowledge and attitude among pregnant and breastfeeding women were included. Determinants of acceptance and hesitancy were investigated in detail. Quality assessment was done via the Johann Briggs Institute quality assessment tools. After literature search, 43 studies were included, 30 of which only focused on pregnant women (total sample 25,862 subjects). Sample size ranged from 109 to 7017 people. Acceptance of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine ranged from 16% to 78.52%; vaccine hesitancy ranged between 91.4% and 24.5%. Fear of adverse events for either the woman, the child, or both, was the main driver for hesitancy. Other determinants of hesitancy included religious concerns, socioeconomic factors, inadequate information regarding the vaccine and lack of trust towards institutions. SARS-CoV-2 vaccine hesitancy in hospitalized pregnant women appears to be significant, and efforts for a more effective communication to these subjects are required.
