    Objective: Anti-vaccine movement has been increasing in recent years, leading to poor health outcomes. There are some scales to measure the vaccine hesitancy but most of them have limitation and may not be proper for Turkey. The aim of this study is to develop a Turkish scale of vaccine hesitancy. Methods: Two cross sectional studies were conducted. Purposive sampling method was used to reach participants in hospital and its surroundings. Study1: Explanatory factor analysis involved 315 participants, whose 61.3% were female mean age was 33.3 +/- 11.6 years. The draft scale with 36 items were applied face to face. Study 2: Confirmatory factor analysis involved 214 participants for the long form and 200 for short form. Of the participants, 62.0% was female and the mean age was 33.9 +/- 11.3 for short form. Of the participants, 65.4% was female and the mean age was 34.5 +/- 11.4 for the long form. Goodness of fit indexes of both forms were compared with literature. Results: The long form with 21 items in 4 factors and the short form with 12 items in 3 factors were selected as they best explained the data. Explained variance by long form and short form were 57.4% and 65.3% respectively. Cronbach Alpha values for long form and short form were 0.905 and 0.855, respectively. Conclusions: It is important to understand vaccine hesitancy at local levels because differences in sociocultural structure have major effect. In this study, two forms reliable vaccine hesitancy scale were presented in Turkish as first in literature.
