Abstract

We assess monkeypox vaccination acceptance among male adults in the European Region. We conducted an online survey through two dating apps targeting men who have sex with men, from 30 July to 12 August 2022. We developed Bayesian hierarchical logistic regression models to investigate monkeypox vaccination acceptance. Overall crude vaccination acceptance was 82% and higher in north-western compared to south-eastern European regions. Acceptance strongly rose with perception of increased disease severity and transmission risk, and in individuals linked to healthcare.
