Abstract
Vaccine hesitancy is considered a serious threat to public health, due to worldwide decline in vaccine uptake and resurgence of vaccine preventable diseases. With mass vaccination underway for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), opposition and reluctance could hinder success, and therefore must be understood and addressed.
This research aimed to understand attitudes towards vaccination and drivers of hesitancy within a New Zealand context from 2018 to today, with particular emphasis on the COVID-19 vaccine.
