Vaccine hesitancy is now a constant phenomenon with increasing social implications. In fact, vaccines are overwhelmingly safe, however, cognitive biases are holding the hesitant back. The delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccination despite availability of vaccine services has always been a public health threat such as a resurgence of one eradicated vaccine-preventable disease. These issues in vaccine uptake, together with declining community acceptance of other public health interventions, will mean a delayed recovery and prolonged pandemic. Thus, to acquire prerequisite information for the stated purposes, this study sought to answer the crucial questions as follows:

1. Which socio-economic and intrapersonal factors are associated with vaccine hesitancy?

2. How do the underlying factors towards vaccine hesitancy concerns interrelated to human cognition among underage individuals?

3. How is it significant to address concerns among hesitant minors related to building trust upon vaccine safety?
