Psychological characteristics associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and resistance in Ireland and the United Kingdom

Jamie Murphy et al.

Summary: Identifying and understanding COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy within distinct populations may aid future public health messaging. Using nationally representative data from the general adult populations of Ireland and the UK, the study found differences in vaccine hesitancy/resistance between the two countries but similarities in psychological constructs among resistant respondents. Vaccine-resistant individuals in both populations were less likely to obtain information from traditional and authoritative sources and had similar levels of mistrust in these sources compared to vaccine-accepting individuals.
