I don’t think there is an anti-vaccines movement in Spain. There was a small group worried about COVID vaccination when the first vaccines arrived but it disappeared very quickly when they noticed politicians and rich people were getting vaccinated before the older general population if giving the opportunity.
You have the religious type that trust in god, those mostly live in the bible belt, and you have those who are considered anti vax who don’t trust science and/or the government, those live all over the country
UK:
Parts of inner London, Bradford, northern parts of Birmingham, Wolverhampton, parts of Liverpool, northern parts of Greater Manchester, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, and areas around Peterborough.
We don’t have them. At least nones that are vocal about it, also, there are certain vaccines that are obligatory. You need to have them to be able to go to school.
In Portugal anti-vaxxers used to be a very minor urban woo-hoo alternate lyfestile elite.
Covid added some more contrarian anti-leftist conspirationists to it. Those are also mostly urban.
Widespread vaccination in Portugal is still recent enough that there are many remembering the time before it so even now anti-vaxxers are relatively rare.

I would say they are pretty dispersed throughout Poland, though I guess there might be more of them around the Tatra Mountains and in the east.
We don’t have big antivaxxer movement in Finland, but 90% of conspirancy theorists here live near of Russia’s border in eastern Finland.
