Abstract

During the fight against Covid-19, the topic of vaccination took on particular importance - politically, in the media, and among the general public. It can be assumed that the population's health literacy regarding vaccination changed during the pandemic years. Therefore, and to substantiate this assumption with evidence, a follow-up study to the 2018 mandates on health literacy regarding vaccination in the Swiss population and the knowledge and attitudes towards vaccination among healthcare professionals is being conducted as part of the National Immunization Strategy (NSI).
