Unfolding the Determinants of COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance in China

Fulian Yin et al.

Summary: China is leading efforts in developing COVID-19 vaccines with five candidates in final-stage human trials. Public opinion on vaccines in China was analyzed through social media dialogues to understand views on vaccination. The study found that most Chinese netizens believe vaccines are less expensive than thought but some struggle with affordability for their families. Additionally, positive attitudes towards vaccine side effects and pride in China's vaccine development efforts were evident, although there was a collective misunderstanding about inactivated vaccines, with beliefs they are safer than other types.

Acceptance of a COVID-19 Vaccine and Its Related Determinants among the General Adult Population in Kuwait

Yosor Alqudeimat et al.

Summary: The study found that 53.1% of adults in Kuwait were willing to accept a COVID-19 vaccine. Men were more willing than women, those with health-related risk perceptions regarding vaccines were less willing, and individuals who had previously received an influenza vaccine were more likely to accept a COVID-19 vaccine. Willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine increased with perceived risk of infection.

Concerns for others increases the likelihood of vaccination against influenza and COVID-19 more in sparsely rather than densely populated areas

Haesung Jung et al.

Summary: Vaccination not only offers individual protection from infectious diseases, but also contributes to social benefits by reducing transmission to others, known as herd immunity. Prosocial concern plays a significant role in motivating vaccination, particularly in less populated regions, by emphasizing the impact of one's vaccination on others. Public health communications may benefit more from highlighting the prosocial aspects of vaccination, especially in sparser environments.

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.

COVID-19, Fake News, and Vaccines: Should Regulation Be Implemented?

Julio Emilio Marco-Franco et al.

Summary: Research shows that there is hesitation rather than outright opposition to COVID-19 vaccines, with the main concern being side effects. Within the legislative framework, compulsory vaccination and regulation of fake news seem feasible options, but direct control of news by government authorities is not supported by citizens, who prefer collaboration with media and other organizations.

Change of Willingness to Accept COVID-19 Vaccine and Reasons of Vaccine Hesitancy of Working People at Different Waves of Local Epidemic in Hong Kong, China: Repeated Cross-Sectional Surveys

Kailu Wang et al.

Summary: The study found a decreasing trend in willingness to accept the COVID-19 vaccine, with increasing concerns about vaccine safety and growing compliance of personal protection behaviors being the main reasons. Clerical/service/sales workers were less likely to accept the vaccine compared to other occupations. It is suggested that more education and favorable policies should be provided to the general working population for vaccination, especially for those who are not professional and are frequently exposed to crowds.

Summary: While COVID-19 continues to spread globally, there is a decrease in vaccine acceptance rates, with significant demographic, socioeconomic, and partisan differences.

Willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine with and without emergency use authorization

Jeanine P. D. Guidry et al.

Summary: This study assessed psychosocial predictors of U.S. adults' willingness to get a future COVID-19 vaccine and whether these predictors differ under an emergency use authorization (EUA) release of the vaccine. Significant predictors of COVID-19 vaccine uptake intentions included education, having insurance, scoring high on subjective norms, a positive attitude toward the vaccine, as well as high perceived susceptibility to COVID-19, high perceived benefits of the vaccine, scoring low on barriers to the vaccine, and scoring high on self-efficacy. Predictors of willingness to take a COVID-19 vaccine under EUA were age, race/ethnicity, positive subjective norms, high perceived behavioral control, positive attitudes toward the vaccine, as well as high perceived susceptibility to COVID-19, high perceived benefits of the vaccine, low barriers to the vaccine, and scoring high on self-efficacy for getting the vaccine.

Summary: This study identified predictors of negative attitudes towards vaccines and unwillingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine among UK adults, with low-income groups, those who did not receive a flu vaccine last year, poor adherence to COVID-19 guidelines, female gender, and living with children being the most significant predictors of vaccine refusal. High levels of mistrust in vaccine benefit and concerns about future side effects were the most important determinants of vaccine uncertainty and unwillingness to vaccinate against COVID-19.

Summary: A significant portion of the U.S. population may have vaccine hesitancy towards a new COVID-19 vaccine, posing risks to both individuals and communities. Lack of unified voice in the healthcare community has led to distrust. Previous experiences with influenza vaccines show suboptimal acceptance, and skepticism towards the new vaccine is exacerbated by political influences.
