The arrows indicate the direction of the exerted effect. For example, the decision to vaccinate is determined by the perceptions that a person has with respect to the a) benefit of the vaccine such as its effectiveness (‘perceived benefit’), b) risk or barriers to vaccination such as potential side effects (‘perceived barrier’), and c) disease severity (‘perceived threat’). These determinants of vaccination are further influenced by other variables such as: the ‘cue to action’ or else a physician’s recommendation, the socioeconomic status of the person, the knowledge about vaccinations and the perceived susceptibility to the disease influencing the ‘perceived threat’ determinant; the determinants of ‘perceived benefit/barrier’ are influenced by the socioeconomic and knowledge status of each person.Citation18,Citation23
