“…Contextual influence-related factors including age, religion, socioeconomic status (SES), government trust, information sources, and others, were found to be associated with VH in most studies. Of the seven studies included in our analysis, five [12] , [15] , [18] , [20] , [26] found that older age and female gender were both strongly associated with VH. Two studies [15] , [26] found an association between catholic ideology and VH.…”

“…The age group 18-29 had the highest percentage of the unvaccinated compared to the older groups, a result that is contrary to some studies realized prior to or at early stages of the vaccine availability, where the youngest group expressed the highest levels of vaccine acceptance and the oldest showed highest hesitancy. 8,[11][12][13] Also, earlier reviews conducted in Latin America, including Mexico, that assessed VH for other vaccines indicated that advanced age was associated with vaccination concerns and refusal. 10 However, vaccination prevalence for SARS-CoV-2 shows quite a contrary picture.…”

“…In Mexico some studies, conducted prior to the vaccine availability, or at its early stage, indicated no effect of education level on the willingness to get vaccinated 11 (data was collected between December 2020 and February 2021). Others suggested that those without a high school diploma or with a vocational-technical degree show a significantly high proportion of low VH and a low proportion of no VH 8 (data was collected between June and July, 2021,). The relation between education and VH requires further research.…”

ObjectiveTo explore the reasons for not getting vaccinated against COVID-19.Material and methodsIn October 2021, a nationwide structured telephone survey (disproportionate stratified sampling) was conducted regarding COVID-19 pandemics, including vaccination experience. To examine associations between inoculation and other characteristics, the chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were applied.ResultsOut of 3 126 adults, 68% reported complete vaccination and 21% only the first dose, while 11% remained unvaccinated. Non-vaccination was associated with being younger, male, without a partner, low socioeconomic level, and no previous diagnosis of hypertension, obesity or diabetes. Furthermore, the non-vaccinated were less likely to have tested for COVID-19, and more likely to consider COVID-19 as low severe and not real compared with the vaccinated. Using logistic regression models: place of residence, marital status, educational level, age, BMI, testing for COVID-19, and the perception of COVID-19 (severe and real) were significant predictors of non-vaccination. The predominant reasons for not getting vaccinated were: 63% “external barriers” (e.g., not being able to attend an appointment), and 37% “internal motives” (e.g., “vaccine does not work”).ConclusionsThe causes of non-vaccination against COVID-19 are related to both social and geographical determinants. Addressing external barriers is necessary in order to promote equity in vaccination. Reviewing the results in the context of earlier studies on the willingness to vaccinate, the gap between intention and vaccination is notable.

“…Currently, Mexico has anti-corruption laws, but they are never enforced, and public officials are rarely held accountable for illegal acts or actions perceived by the public. The anti-corruption law was passed in 2017, but its effectiveness has not been proven yet [22]. Consolidating democracy may be one solution to combating the culture of corruption in Mexico.…”

Mexico has a history of power struggles and a culture of bad governance. Corruption in Mexico is deeply rooted and very difficult to deal with. This culture is fully supported by most politicians and people in various sectors. Mexico is trapped in a long-term case of corruption that has become a political system normalized by its citizens. This article explores the dynamics of corruption cases in Latin America. This article explains the level of corruption, the type of corruption, and its causes. Corruption continues to run rampant because people live in accordance with it. The best solution to overcome this problem is to overthrow the regime. Mexico’s anti-corruption law has been ineffective. Furthermore, high corruption has built distrust in society, which makes the refusal of the COVID-19 vaccine.
