Abstract

Aim: This descriptive research was conducted to determine the relationship between COVID-19 vaccine literacy and public attitude towards the COVID-19 vaccine. Material and Methods: The research data were collected by convenience sampling between June and September 2021. The population of the research consisted of 1112 individuals aged 18 and over. The data were collected online using a personal information form, the COVID-19 Vaccine Literacy Scale, and the Attitudes Towards the COVID-19 Vaccine (ATV-COVID-19) Scale. Results: The mean COVID-19 Vaccine Literacy scale total score was 2.91±0.43, while the mean ATV-COVID-19 scale total was 3.68±0.76. A statistically significant and positive relationship existed between the participants' COVID-19 VL scale total scores and their ATV-COVID-19 scale total scores. Conclusion: The vaccine literacy of the participants was relatively high, and their attitudes toward the COVID-19 vaccine were positive. As vaccine literacy increased, positive attitudes toward vaccines also increased.
