TL;DR: The 5C scale provides a novel tool to monitor psychological antecedents of vaccination and facilitates diagnosis, intervention design and evaluation and its short version is suitable for field settings and regular global monitoring of relevant antecedent vaccination.

TL;DR: This work expands on García Coll et al.

TL;DR: This sample study protocol provides a step-by-step guidance for the process of adapting the 5C scale to another country, language or cultural context and suggests publicly sharing all data obtained from the translated 5C Scale on publication.

TL;DR: The 5C model as discussed by the authors describes five relevant psychological antecedents of vaccination: confidence, complacency (risk perceptions), constraints (barriers), calculation (extent of information search), and collective responsibility.

TL;DR: The data will add to the body of evidence on the effectiveness of evidence-informed vaccination campaign development as well as on the clinical and economic effects of pneumococcal and influenza vaccination.
