The main medical and social causes of decreasing of level of population commitment to vaccination are explained. The purpose of the study is to quantitatively assess commitment to vaccination, to establish both dependence of level of commitment on risk factors of population refusal to be vaccinated and medical and social causes of this phenomenon. Materials and methods. In April-June 2023, sociological survey of respondents (n=300) aged from 19 to 75 years using the author's methodology was implemented. The statistical processing of materials was carried out using statistical software SPSS Statistics 23.0 using correlation analysis and descriptive statistics. The results and discussion. Using correlation analysis (according r-Spearman), dependence of level of commitment on number of medical and social factors was established. The readiness to vaccination depends on degree of trust to medicine. The accessibility of information about National Vaccination Calendar, vaccination scheme and vaccine effectiveness directly impact decision to be vaccinated. Conclusion. The development of complex of measures (technologies) improving population literacy through organization of informational and educational environment will reduce the number of unjustified refusals and increase level of population commitment to vaccination in general.</p>surveyvalidationmethodologyimmunoprophylaxiscommitmentvaccinationpublic healthepidemiological challengeCOVID-19medical and social resourcespotentialопросвалидацияметодикаиммунопрофилактикаприверженностьвакцинацияобщественное здоровьеэпидемиологический вызовCOVID-19медико-социальный ресурспотенциал1.Message by the Director of the Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals at WHO.
