The COVID-19 vaccine attitude scale was developed by the researchers. The scale development process of the research started with the literature review. This process continued with creating an item pool, receiving expert opinions, piloting, and finalizing the scale. As a result of the research, the Cα value of the COVID-19 vaccine attitude scale was found to be 0.745. The total variance explanatory power of the scale was determined as 56,972. Confirmatory factor analysis was determined as χ2/sd = 4.902. In this context, the construct validity of the scale was confirmed. As a result of the research, it was determined that 90,4% of the participants had been vaccinated. It was concluded that the e-Health literacy of the participants was at a medium level (37.38±7.90), while their COVID-19 vaccine literacy was at a low level (30.88±7.34).
