    Background:

    • COVID-19 control measures are vital but difficult for socio-economically disadvantaged populations.
    • Insufficient health literacy affects nearly a third of Europeans, hindering adherence to health guidelines.
    • Increased virus exposure in certain groups exacerbates the challenge of implementing control measures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the challenges in implementing COVID-19 control measures among vulnerable populations.

    • To advocate for long-term educational and health promotion strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on health literacy and socio-economic disparities in public health.
    • Analysis of the impact of insufficient health literacy on adherence to health measures.
    • Assessment of the socio-economic consequences of differential access to health information.

    Main Results:

    • Socio-economically disadvantaged groups face significant barriers to implementing health measures.
    • Low health literacy is a critical factor limiting the effectiveness of public health interventions.
    • Inequalities in health measure adherence widen socio-economic gaps and affect future generations.

    Conclusions:

    • Massive, long-term investment in education and health promotion is essential.
    • Addressing health literacy is key to mitigating the impact of health crises.
    • Proactive strategies are needed to reduce health inequalities and improve societal resilience.
