Many scientific studies have already proven that higher levels of education and health literacy are correlated. Health literacy represents a link between upbringing and education and health. By including health topics in the educational system through the curriculum, children and young people accept and develop responsibility for their health, know how to choose a responsible lifestyle, and develop skills and habits that contribute to health preservation. Better familiarity and information will help young people to overcome this more easily and to face problems. In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a rift within humanity, and the most affected by this event were young people who encountered a lot of changes in the educational, social, cultural and health system. Purpose of this study is to investigate the development of health literacy in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic among young people. The research was based on a qualitative content analysis of twelve (12) scientific papers on health literacy in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to facilitate the processing and interpretation of data and the finding of suitable scientific papers, inclusion and exclusivity criteria have been set. The analyzed results were categorized according to the set research questions. From the obtained results, we can conclude that young people have insufficiently developed health literacy and that there are several factors that influence its development. We can point out that it is necessary for health education to become a sustainable and advanced field at all levels of the educational system.
