Vaccines are recognized as the most effective strategy for long-term prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) because they can reduce morbidity and mortality. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate willingness to pay (WTP) for a future COVID-19 vaccination among young adults in Southern Vietnam.
A cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytic study was undertaken with data collected from a community-based survey in southern Vietnam for 2 weeks in May 2020. The contingent valuation method was used to estimate WTP for COVID-19 vaccine. The average amount that respondents were willing to pay for the vaccine was US$ 85.9 2 ± 69.01.
We also found the differences in WTP according to sex, living area, monthly income, and the level of self-rated risk of COVID-19.
Our findings possibly contribute to the implementation of a pricing policy when the COVID-19 vaccine is introduced in Vietnam.
疫苗被认为是预防 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的最有效策略,因为它们可以降低发病率和死亡率。本研究的目的是评估越南南部年轻人对未来 COVID-19 疫苗接种的支付意愿(WTP)。
这是一项横断面描述性分析研究,数据来自于 2020 年 5 月在越南南部进行的为期两周的基于社区的调查。采用条件价值评估法估计 COVID-19 疫苗的 WTP。受访者愿意为疫苗支付的平均金额为 85.92 美元±69.01 美元。
我们还发现,WTP 因性别、居住地区、月收入和自我评估 COVID-19 风险水平的不同而存在差异。
我们的研究结果可能有助于在 COVID-19 疫苗引入越南时实施定价政策。
