FIGURE 1
Scatter plot showing the functional and interactive-critical vaccine literacy (VL) scores observed in 22 adult general and patient populations from different countries, assessed by Covid-19-VLS or HLVa scales. The mean functional score was 2.83 (S.D. 0.25), whereas the interactive-critical one was 2.92 (S.D. 0.42), calculated on a four-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 to 4. The interactive-critical was greater than the functional VL values for 16 of the 22 populations. Marker dimensions reflects variability in the sample size of the studies (N between 154 and 6,275). Dotted lines refer to the proposed cut-off values for limited VL, corresponding to the lower tertile bounds. More details and full citations of the selected studies are reported in ref # (5). Scatter diagram of vaccine literacy scores (different countries, 2023).
