Disentangling social inequalities around access and vaccine hesitancy for COVID-19 vaccination uptake in Sub-Saharan Africa: Preparation of a scoping review

Round Table Discussion with Michael J. Deml, Jennifer Githaiga, Vladimir Jolidon

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the literature on vaccine hesitancy and vaccine uptake was conducted in high-income, Western countries. The relatively few studies from low- and middle-income countries pre-dating the COVID-19 pandemic have tended to focus on issues related to low levels of health literacy, access issues, social inequalities, rumors about vaccination, and non-biomedical approaches to medicine in certain settings of these countries. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has globally been an explosion of research on COVID-19 vaccine intentions and the determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and uptake. The scoping review project seeks to map out the current state of this scientific literature in Sub-Saharan Africa.
