ABSTRACT. I develop a conceptual framework based on a systematic and comprehensive literature review on individual and psychosocial features shaping COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Building my argument by drawing on data collected from AP-NORC, de Beaumont, DHL, KFF, Gallup, McKinsey, and Statista, I performed analyses and made estimates regarding essential drivers for vaccine hesitancy. The data for this research were gathered via an online survey questionnaire. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
