COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in the UK: the Oxford coronavirus explanations, attitudes, and narratives survey (Oceans) II

Daniel Freeman et al.

Summary: The study aimed to estimate the willingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, identify predictive socio-demographic factors, and determine potential causes in order to provide guidance on information provision. The findings showed that willingness to take the vaccine is closely linked to recognition of its collective importance, and factors such as conspiracy beliefs lower vaccine uptake. Socio-demographic factors such as age, gender, income, and ethnicity also played a role in vaccine hesitancy.

Sahil Loomba et al.

Summary: Recent online misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines has been found to decrease intent to vaccinate among adults in the UK and the USA, particularly among those who were initially willing to get vaccinated.
