Abstract

We examined psychometric properties of the Vaccine Hesitancy Scale (VHS) among people with HIV (PWH) for COVID-19 vaccination in a cross-sectional study in the US. “Lack of confidence” and “risks” explained 45·55% and 12·31% of the variance in the data. Reliability and construct validity were also adequate.
