Our findings highlight the need to design more inclusive vaccine campaigns during evolving public health emergencies that consider how the intersection of stigma, characteristics, practices, and circumstances might lead to exclusion and inhibit vaccine uptake. Our persona approach further highlights the need to consider whether shared barriers to engagement (which can span multiple identities and positionalities) require tailored solutions. Guidelines should be co-designed with affected communities and include stigma-reduction interventions to ensure equitable provision and access to vaccine programmes
