COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Hesitancy (VBH) and Its Drivers in Algeria: National Cross-Sectional Survey-Based Study

Mohamed Lounis et al.

Summary: This study investigated the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccine boosters and the factors associated with it in the general population of Algeria. The results showed that over half of the respondents accepted the booster, but only a small percentage actually received it. The main reasons for acceptance were expert recommendations and belief in the necessity and efficacy of booster doses, while rejection was mainly due to the belief that primer doses were sufficient or a lack of trust in the effectiveness of vaccines. Males, older individuals, those with chronic comorbidities or a history of COVID-19 infection, non-healthcare workers, and those with low educational levels were more likely to accept the booster.

Willingness to accept a second COVID-19 vaccination booster dose among healthcare workers in Italy

Giorgia Della Polla et al.

Summary: This study examines the willingness of healthcare workers to receive a second booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and identifies the factors that influence their decision.

However, some healthcare workers are hesitant due to concerns about the dose's efficacy against emerging variants and potential side effects. The study also reveals that younger age, being a physician, and a positive attitude towards the booster dose are associated with a higher likelihood of recommending the booster dose to patients.

Parents' reasons to vaccinate their children aged 5-11 years against COVID-19 in Italy

Annalisa Napoli et al.

Summary: This study investigated the reasons and determinants for parents to vaccinate their children aged 5-11 against COVID-19 in Italy. The results revealed that parents perceived COVID-19 as a severe illness for their child, and the risk perception of their child contracting COVID-19 decreased after vaccination. Parental risk perception was associated with education level, the presence of chronic medical conditions in the child, and the severity of COVID-19. Parents showed a high level of trust in information provided by pediatricians. The most common reasons for vaccinating their children included protecting against COVID-19, reducing the risk for school attendance and activities. Parents with a university degree were more likely to vaccinate their child for school attendance and activities.
