“…Furthermore, research has consistently shown a positive association between education attainment and knowledge regarding vaccinations, which is coherent with several previous studies [33,38,47,48] that assessed that college graduates tend to have higher levels of knowledge on vaccinations compared to those with less education. This may be due to several factors, including better health literacy, more exposure to scientific information, and access to resources, such as peer-reviewed journals and academic publications, while individuals from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds may have limited access to education [49,50].…”

“…Recently, numerous studies have been conducted among various population subgroups to analyse knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours related to vaccine hesitancy with a focus on the role of educational attainment and age in adherence to vaccination programs. The literature primarily concentrates on parents, revealing that those with good knowledge and positive attitudes towards vaccinations are more likely to vaccinate their children, especially those with higher levels of education [33][34][35]. Additionally, other studies have been conducted among healthcare providers, indicating that physicians and younger individuals generally possess more knowledge and a better understanding of vaccination recommendations compared to other healthcare workers [36][37][38][39].…”

Vaccine hesitancy has become a major global concern, leading to a significant decrease in the vaccination rate, with the World Health Organization recognizing it as one of the top ten threats to public health. Moreover, the health cost generated is evaluated to be 27 billion dollars per year in the US alone. To investigate the association between demographic variables and knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours related to vaccination, a survey-based cross-sectional study was conducted with 1163 individuals. Three models were used to perform a multiple linear regression analysis. In Model I, knowledge about vaccinations was found to be associated with smoking habits, education, and marital status. In Model II, attitudes towards vaccinations were significantly associated with sex, smoking habits, education, marital status, and knowledge. In Model III, behaviours related to vaccination were associated with sex, smoking habits, having children, knowledge, and attitudes. One potential solution to improve behaviours related to vaccinations in the general population is to implement specific public health programs, which can be a cost-effective intervention. This study provides valuable insights into the determinants of knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours related to vaccinations in the general population.

“…A total of 200 postnatal Malaysian mothers were enlisted; the mean age of the mothers in the study sample was 27.29 ± 2.45 years 27 . While research points to the fact that younger age is associated with higher compliance with vaccination (p<0.001), compliance appears to decrease as parents age 28 . The age distribution shows that the average age of mothers in our study was 30 years.…”

“…This can be shown in other studies that parents who bring their children to developmental follow-up tend to be more educated (p = 0.002) and do not use alternative medicine (p < 0.001). Parents who did not trust doctors tended to be less educated (p = 0.001) and used alternative medicine (p = 0.027) 28 .…”

Immunization is an effort to actively create/increase the body's immunity to protect children from various diseases. However, Indonesian society's understanding of immunization still varies especially parental knowledge and behavior, which will be the main factor in immunization completeness for children, thereby reducing immunization coverage and immunity gaps. This research aims to determine the effect of promotion and counseling on the knowledge and attitudes of mothers with children over 2 years in the urban areas of Kaliombo and Manisrenggo, the working area of the Southern City Health Center. The research method is Quasi-Experimental with a one-group pre-post test approach. The sampling technique used Total Sampling with a sample size of 64 people. Data was collected in the form of knowledge and attitude questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tests, Wilcoxon and multiple linear analyses. The research results related to knowledge show a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05). In contrast, attitudes show a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05), which means there is a significant increase in knowledge and attitudes after basic immunization counseling and education. Based on the linear regression test results, it shows that if knowledge increases by one score, then attitude also increases by 0.668. This research concludes that promotion and counseling impact knowledge and attitude.

“…Several studies have investigated people’s knowledge, attitude and behaviour about vaccine recommendations, especially referred to parents/caregivers [ 16 , 17 , 18 ] and pregnant women [ 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Only recently surveys focused on HCWs’ practices and perceptions of vaccinations and their knowledge of the ones required for their role by the authorities.…”

Background: Recommended vaccinations are the cheapest and most effective measure to reduce the risk of transmission and related complications, especially in high-risk healthcare settings. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of HCWs in relation to national recommendations. Methods: A transversal study was conducted through administration of a questionnaire by personal interview. The following care units were involved: Paediatric, Neonatal, Cardiac Surgery and General Intensive Care Units and Infectious Diseases Unit. Results: The study sample comprised 308 HCWs. Half the sample were aware of the vaccination recommendations, with occupation and age found to be predictive factors (OR = 9.38, 95%CI: 2.07–42.41; OR = 0.36, 95%CI: 0.22–0.60). A higher percentage defined the diseases as a risk for their patients’ health, although this perception was lower in the over-40 age group. In several cases, there were statistically significant differences between the care units (p < 0.001). Around three-quarters of the sample agreed that vaccination should be mandatory; willingness to undergo a future booster vaccination was statistically correlated with the variables of age and care unit (p < 0.001, p = 0.03). Conclusion: The protection of health in the workplace can be achieved through some strategic actions, such as the implementation of educational strategies, and protocols for the monitoring of immunocompetence and the improvement of vaccination.
