description AIM: This study investigated childhood vaccine hesitancy in two regions with different socioeconomic backgrounds in Kayseri, Turkey. SUBJECT AND METHODS: The study population consisted of all people over 18 years of age admitted to two family health centers (No 65 and 103) in a city center for any reason. RESULTS: Participants living in the high socioeconomic status (SES) region had a significantly lower mean rating on the CVHQ (Childhood Vaccine Hesitancy Questionnaire - see below) than those living in the low SES region. CONCLUSION: Vaccine hesitancy is the main reason for vaccine refusal. Therefore, authorities should provide adequate and accurate information about the significance of vaccines to raise public awareness
