Abstract
December 2019 was momentous since it experienced the trajectory of another novel pathogenic HCoV recognized as 2019-nCoV in Wuhan, China, which further unfurled to all countries on the entire globe at lightning speed. The Majority of COVID-19 vaccines are being manufactured using protein subunits, viral vectors, inactivated viruses, as well as DNA and mRNA vaccine platforms. This study aimed to conduct a gender-based review of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among the general population and bibliometric analysis. Various articles related to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, either based on their title, abstract, or keywords in the search strategy, were reviewed. For COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, we used the definition of "Reluctance to receive safe and recommended available vaccines". Accordingly, 408 articles were included in the complete evaluation and the bibliometric analysis. Data Analysis was done using the Vos viewer Software. The strength of co-cited publications showed strong contributors from the American and Asian continents. The words with the maximum weightage based on their occurrences were female, health personnel, acceptance, social media, socio-economic factors, and ethnic groups, as covered in the red cluster. On the other hand, the Overlay Visualization on the right side, based on the total link strength of MeSH items, showed the largest clusters with items such as females, attitude to health, trust, cross-sectional studies, the acceptance of healthcare, rural population, public health, and parents, which were toward the center. The terms toward the periphery, which had less weightage, need more analysis. Greater perceived susceptibility, risk perception, benefits, and low levels of barriers and self-efficacy were the prime reasons for getting vaccinated, more specifically among females. In most instances, the female being the decision-maker of the family needs to be attended to first as she can further change the mindset of the entire family and carry the future forward.
