Understanding How Socioecological Factors Affect COVID-19 Vaccine Perceptions Among Adolescents: Qualitative Evidence from Seven High-, Middle- and Low-income Countries

Background: The number of studies examining family, community, institutional and policy factors on COVID-19 vaccine perceptions is limited, with most concentrating on high-income countries and using predominantly quantitative methods. To address this gap, the goal of this manuscript is to qualitatively explore these factors and how they shape adolescents’ perspectives on COVID-19 vaccines across diverse contexts.
