Targeted Strategies for Vaccine Outreach: Dengue Vaccine Acceptability Survey in Peru

883 survey participants and 147 focus group discussants in Piura and Iquitos, Peru, provided data on dengue vaccine hesitancy. The dataset, created by Jorge L. Cañari-Casaño and shared on figshare, uses the 5C’s Framework to classify 81.9% as vaccine acceptors, 14.5% as unsure, and 3.6% as refusers. It includes multivariable logistic regression results examining factors like trust in vaccine benefits and COVID-19 vaccination views associated with uncertainty.

Use Cases

• Modeling factors associated with vaccine uncertainty based on survey responses about trust and knowledge.
• Analyzing qualitative themes from focus groups regarding information needs on vaccine efficacy and side effects.
• Comparing vaccine hesitancy patterns between different demographic groups, such as education levels.
• Designing communication strategies based on identified barriers like mistrust linked to COVID-19 vaccine development.

Strengths

• Includes data from 883 survey participants and 147 focus group discussants, providing quantitative and qualitative depth.
• Applies a theory-driven, multi-item outcome classification for vaccine acceptability.
• Results are specific, quantifying factors like reduced trust in vaccine benefits (OR 0.25) for the 'unsure' group.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the tabular data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 9.5 KB file size suggests a very limited scope, likely containing only summary or processed results.
