To better understand the association between Ebola-related attitudes and interest in receiving an Ebola virus vaccine, a survey was administered to a U.S. national sample using GfK's KnowledgePanel®. Among participants (N=1417), 34.1% expressed interest in an Ebola vaccine for themselves. In the subset of participants with children aged 0-17 (N=410), 38.1% expressed interest in an Ebola vaccine for their child. In multivariable analyses, vaccine interest for oneself was associated with perceived susceptibility to Ebola (p=0.009), beliefs that the U.S. government should spend money to control Ebola (p=0.002), and beliefs Ebola posed a national threat (p=0.007). Vaccine interest for one's child was associated with perceived severity of Ebola (p=0.018) and beliefs that the U.S. government should spend money to control Ebola (p=0.003). Findings highlight the influence of personal and national threat beliefs on vaccine interest. Understanding the impact of threat beliefs may benefit vaccine campaign development during future pandemic threats.
为了更好地理解与埃博拉相关的态度和对接种埃博拉病毒疫苗的兴趣之间的关联，使用GfK的知识面板®对美国全国样本进行了一项调查。在参与者（N = 1417）中，34.1%的人表示自己有兴趣接种埃博拉疫苗。在有0至17岁子女的参与者子集中（N = 410），38.1%的人表示有兴趣为其子女接种埃博拉疫苗。在多变量分析中，个人对疫苗的兴趣与对埃博拉的感知易感性相关（p = 0.009），认为美国政府应花钱控制埃博拉的信念相关（p = 0.002），以及认为埃博拉构成国家威胁的信念相关（p = 0.007）。对子女接种疫苗的兴趣与对埃博拉的感知严重性相关（p = 0.018），以及认为美国政府应花钱控制埃博拉的信念相关（p = 0.003）。研究结果突出了个人和国家威胁信念对疫苗兴趣的影响。了解威胁信念的影响可能有助于未来大流行威胁期间疫苗接种活动的开展。
