Health literacy was associated with a "nonhesitant" attitude toward vaccines. The findings demonstrated that health literacy and confidence in the health care system are modestly correlated. Therefore, to tackle the subject of vaccine hesitancy, the main focus should be on increasing the population's confidence and on increasing their health literacy levels or providing vaccine information addressing the needs of less literate citizens.
