Assessing vaccine hesitancy in the UK population using a generalized vaccine hesitancy survey instrument.

CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that whereas a substantial percentage of the British population is vaccine hesitant, these views are not clustered in typical demographic features. The small but important adaptation of the VHS to target general attitudes seems to result in highly similar psychometric characteristics as the original scale that exclusively targets parents. We provide suggestions for further validation of the VHS. PMID: 30940484 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
