The lived experiences of a COVID-19 immunization programme: vaccine hesitancy and vaccine refusal

Nee Nee Chan et al.

Summary: This study investigated the lived experiences of Malaysians regarding COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and refusal, as well as facilitating factors that could enhance vaccine acceptance and uptake. It found incongruence as the overall thematic meaning connecting three main themes, including the gap between aims and implementation of the National Immunization Program, trust deficit in government and COVID-19 news, and mixed views on official and social media communication.

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.

Vaccine hesitancy: Beliefs and barriers associated with COVID-19 vaccination among Egyptian medical students

Shimaa M. Saied et al.

Summary: Vaccine hesitancy is a challenge for achieving population immunity. A study among medical students in Egypt found that most students recognized the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine but had hesitancy due to concerns about adverse effects and ineffectiveness. Efforts are needed to reduce hesitancy and raise awareness about vaccinations to improve acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines.

Individual determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy

Philip Gerretsen et al.

Summary: Mistrust of vaccine benefit and low perceived seriousness of COVID-19 are the principal determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Right-wing political affiliation, higher risk propensity, and less negative mental health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic also play key roles. Lack of vaccine confidence and complacency explain a significant portion of the variance in vaccine hesitancy.

COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in a representative working-age population in France: a survey experiment based on vaccine characteristics

Michael Schwarzinger et al.

Summary: This study highlights that COVID-19 vaccine acceptance is influenced by the characteristics of new vaccines and national vaccination strategies, as well as factors such as gender, age, education level, and past vaccination history. In the working-age population in France, the outright vaccine refusal rate is approximately 29.4%, while vaccine hesitancy is influenced by vaccine characteristics and information on herd immunity benefits.

Acceptability of a COVID-19 Vaccine among the Saudi Population

Eman Ibrahim Alfageeh et al.

Summary: The study revealed that residents in the southern region, those who have received the seasonal influenza vaccine, believe in mandatory COVID-19 vaccination, and express high levels of concern about COVID-19 are more willing to get vaccinated. On the other hand, individuals with a history of vaccine refusal are less likely to have the intention to be vaccinated. There is a need for multifaceted interventions to target the low acceptance rate among the Saudi population, focusing on raising awareness and emphasizing the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Determinants of COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance among the Adult Population of Bangladesh Using the Health Belief Model and the Theory of Planned Behavior Model

Muhammad Mainuddin Patwary et al.

Summary: The study found that the majority of Bangladeshi adults expressed willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, with students and those with normal body weights showing a higher inclination towards vaccination. Additionally, individuals with higher levels of perceived risk, benefits, and cues to action, along with lower levels of barriers and self-efficacy, were more likely to seek vaccination. Concerns about future vaccine side effects were the most common reason for COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy.

Acceptance and attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccines: A cross-sectional study from Jordan

Tamam El-Elimat et al.

Summary: The public acceptability of COVID-19 vaccines is relatively low in Jordan, with certain demographics like males, those who have taken the seasonal influenza vaccine, those who believe vaccines are generally safe, and those willing to pay for the vaccines being more likely to accept them. Conversely, those over 35, employed individuals, those who believe in COVID-19 conspiracies, and those who do not trust any information source on COVID-19 vaccines are less likely to accept them. Health authorities in Jordan should implement systematic interventions to address vaccine hesitancy and improve acceptance rates.

Miguel Angel Gonzalez-Block et al.

Summary: This study investigates the determinants of influenza vaccination hesitancy in middle-class, urban risk group populations in Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, countries with varying vaccination coverage. It finds that confidence, complacency, and convenience play different roles in shaping vaccination attitudes among different risk groups, and information and communication strategies need to be tailored accordingly. Confidence and complacency should be addressed together in order to effectively increase vaccination rates among priority groups.
