COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and associated factors according to sex: A population-based survey in Salvador, Brazil

Nivison Nery Jr et al.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines and identify factors associated with vaccine hesitancy according to gender. The survey results showed that most participants were willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, but a portion still hesitated. Gender-stratified analysis revealed that men who were working and had comorbidities were less likely to hesitate about vaccination, while women with higher educational levels and a higher perception of COVID-19 risk had lower vaccine hesitancy.

Tom T. Shimabukuro et al.

Summary: Preliminary data indicates that there are no obvious safety signals among pregnant women who received mRNA Covid-19 vaccines, but more data is needed for further confirmation. Adverse reactions such as injection-site pain were reported more frequently in pregnant women, but most pregnancies resulted in live births with some cases of preterm birth and small size for gestational age.
