Rapid online surveys are an important tool for tracking the public's knowledge and perceptions during infectious disease outbreaks. In June 2020, during the early phases of COVID-19 vaccines development, we conducted a survey in 885 Italian adults that aimed at assessing their attitudes and opinions about vaccination, in addition to their vaccine literacy levels (i.e., skills in finding, understanding, and using information about vaccines). In January 2021, the same questionnaire was administered to a similar population ( = 160). Interactive vaccine literacy was significantly higher in January 2021 than in June 2020 (mean score 3.38 vs. 3.27 respectively, = 0.0021). The percentage of participants willing to be vaccinated against COVID-19 assessed by either-or questions, was equally high in both surveys (>90%), which is quite reassuring, although metrics based on categorical scales cannot identify hesitant subjects.
快速在线调查是在传染病爆发期间追踪公众知识和认知的重要工具。2020年6月，在新冠疫苗研发的早期阶段，我们对885名意大利成年人进行了一项调查，旨在评估他们对疫苗接种的态度和看法，以及他们的疫苗知识水平（即查找、理解和使用疫苗相关信息的技能）。2021年1月，我们向类似人群（n = 160）发放了相同的问卷。2021年1月的互动式疫苗知识水平显著高于2020年6月（平均得分分别为3.38和3.27，p = 0.0021）。在两项调查中，通过二选一问题评估的愿意接种新冠疫苗的参与者百分比同样很高（>90%），这相当令人安心，尽管基于分类量表的指标无法识别犹豫不决的受试者。
