Abstract
Aim: The main purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between conspiracy beliefs, fear of injection, attitude towards COVID-19 vaccine, and vaccine hesitancy.
 Methods: A population-based cross-sectional research design was used in the study. The population of the study consisted of individuals over the age of 18 residing in Adana city center between January-February-March 2022. The data were collected from 496 people using the online questionnaire technique. SPSS 23 and AMOS 26 package programs were used in the analysis of the data.
 Results: The effect of conspiracy theories on COVID-19 on vaccine hesitancy over attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines was found to be negative. Similarly, the effect of fear of injection on vaccine hesitancy on attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines was found to be negative.
 Conclusion: Therefore, the attitude towards the COVID-19 vaccine partially mediates the relationship between the conspiracy theories towards COVID-19, fear of injection, and vaccine hesitancy.
