World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the priority of developing vaccines to control the pandemic in addition to effective treatments. It is considered important to know the acceptability of the COVID-19 vaccines and the willingness to pay for the vaccine in order to determine effective health policies. This study aims to reveal the factors affecting the willingness and individuals' willingness to pay for the COVID-19 vaccine. In the study, research examining the willingness to pay for the COVID-19 vaccine was systematically reviewed. Studies conducted in different countries show that participants have a high rate of vaccination intention and their willingness to pay for COVID-19 vaccine varies between 6.81-291 USD. Higher monthly income and higher perceived risk of being infected with COVID-19 were associated with willingness to pay. It is thought that the contribution of individuals to the cost of COVID-19 vaccine to the extent of their income can reduce the burden on public health expenditures. However, vaccines need to be subsidized to achieve sufficiently high vaccine coverage.
