The U.S. vaccine campaign against COVID-19 began in December 2020, but many individuals seem reluctant to get vaccinated. During the first week of the vaccination campaign, we collected data from 1017 individuals with an online survey to identify factors that were associated with willingness to get the vaccine once it is available. Most participants (55.3%) were willing to get the vaccine, although 46.2% also expressed some fear of the vaccine. Political ideology was by far the most consistent predictor of both willingness to be vaccinated and fear of the vaccine, followed by participant sex, education level, income, and race/ethnicity. Our findings suggest that, for the vaccine campaign to be broadly supported and successful, it will be important for frontline healthcare workers to discuss the role of inoculation for COVID-19 in a manner consistent with each individual patient's political and sociological worldview.
美国针对新冠病毒的疫苗接种运动始于2020年12月，但许多人似乎不愿接种疫苗。在疫苗接种运动的第一周，我们通过在线调查收集了1017人的数据，以确定与疫苗可用后愿意接种的相关因素。大多数参与者（55.3%）愿意接种疫苗，尽管46.2%的人也表示对疫苗有些恐惧。政治意识形态是迄今为止愿意接种疫苗和对疫苗恐惧的最一致预测因素，其次是参与者的性别、教育水平、收入和种族/族裔。我们的研究结果表明，要使疫苗接种运动得到广泛支持并取得成功，一线医护人员以符合每个患者政治和社会学世界观的方式讨论接种新冠疫苗的作用将非常重要。
