Survey identified lower vaccination coverage in Egypt compared to the WHO 70% target. Communication programs targeting the groups with low vaccine uptake are needed to eliminate barriers related to vaccination convenience, side effects, and safety to effectively promote vaccine uptake. Findings from the survey could contribute significantly to vaccination promotion by guiding decision-making efforts on the risky groups and preventing vaccine hesitancy
