  • Conducted community-based cross-sectional study in Magsaysay, Occidental Mindoro from February to July 2020.
  • Involved 299 mothers using a structured questionnaire to assess vaccine hesitancy across multiple domains.
  • Utilized descriptive statistics and nonparametric tests to analyze associations with significance level p < .05.
  • Work status showed significant association with perceived confidence and trust (U = 5408.50, p = .03).
  • Stay-at-home mothers reported higher ranks in perceived complacency and risk (U = 5122.00, p < .01).
