Lila J. Finney Rutten et al.

Summary: The success of COVID-19 vaccination programs relies on scientific safety data, high acceptance rates, and population coverage.

Predictors of intention to vaccinate against COVID-19: Results of a nationwide survey

Jeanette B. Ruiz et al.

Summary: The study found that COVID-19 vaccination intentions were low, with some respondents indicating they were unlikely to get vaccinated or unsure. Those most willing to vaccinate included men, older individuals, white non-Hispanic individuals, the affluent, and those with college education. Factors such as vaccine knowledge, perception of COVID-19, and political affiliation likely contribute to vaccination 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.

Predictors of willingness to get a COVID-19 vaccine in the U.S

Bridget J. Kelly et al.

Summary: Most Americans were willing to get a COVID-19 vaccine, but several vulnerable populations reported low willingness. Public health efforts should address these gaps as national implementation efforts continue. Black respondents were less willing than White respondents to get vaccinated, while Hispanic respondents were more willing. Females, those without insurance, and some younger age groups were also less willing to get vaccinated.

Attitudes, behaviours and barriers to public health measures for COVID-19: a survey to inform public health messaging

Raynell Lang et al.

Summary: The survey showed that the majority of people in Alberta, Canada, were following public health measures such as physical distancing, wearing masks, and staying home while sick. However, a significant portion of individuals were not willing to download/use exposure notification apps or accept a COVID-19 vaccine. Trust in health authorities was associated with potential vaccine uptake, but not with app usage, indicating the importance of targeted messaging to address barriers in implementing public health measures.

Would Parents Get Their Children Vaccinated Against SARS-CoV-2? Rate and Predictors of Vaccine Hesitancy According to a Survey over 5000 Families from Bologna, Italy

Marco Montalti et al.

Summary: In the study investigating COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among parents/guardians in Bologna, it was found that a majority were inclined to vaccinate, while hesitancy was higher among female parents/guardians of younger children, with lower education levels, relying on web-based information, and disliking mandatory vaccination policies. These data could help in designing targeted strategies to improve vaccine campaign adherence, especially focusing on web-based information.
