Abstract

The significant disparities in global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine coverage hamper the pace of epidemic control. There is a need to better understand the factors contributing to disparities in COVID-19 vaccination rates across countries. This report revealed significant associations between vaccination coverage and various country-level indicators. Better pandemic preparedness, higher levels of trust, and a lower proportion of young population aged 0-14 were strongly correlated with higher COVID-19 vaccination coverage. Our findings emphasize the need for enhanced pandemic preparedness and governance, coupled with building trust in government and healthcare systems. It also needs to address the hesitancy of vaccinating children and adolescents aged 0-14 as the vaccination campaign progresses.
