PURPOSE
Young adults have the highest cumulative incidence of COVID-19 infection in the country. Using March 2021 Household Pulse Survey data, an ongoing, cross-sectional nationally representative survey, we examined U.S. young adult intention to accept COVID-19 vaccines.
METHODS
Young adult (ages 18-25 years) Household Pulse Survey participants were queried on intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine and related perspectives (N = 5,082).
RESULTS
Most unvaccinated respondents (76%) indicated an intention to become vaccinated. The most frequently cited reasons for potentially rejecting vaccination included desire to wait and see if the vaccine is safe (56%); concerns over side effects (53%); and believing others are in greater need of the vaccine (44%).
CONCLUSIONS
With 24% of young adults hesitant to accept a COVID-19 vaccine, public health interventions should target reasons for hesitancy, address concerns about safety and side effects, and underscore the importance of vaccinations for this population.
目的
年轻人的 COVID-19 感染累积发病率在全国最高。本研究使用 2021 年 3 月开展的、持续的、全国代表性横断面家庭脉搏调查数据，调查了美国年轻成年人接受 COVID-19 疫苗的意愿。
方法
家庭脉搏调查询问了年轻成年人（18-25 岁）对接受 COVID-19 疫苗的意愿及相关观点（N=5082）。
结果
大多数未接种疫苗的受访者（76%）表示有接种疫苗的意愿。潜在拒绝接种疫苗的最常见原因包括希望观望疫苗是否安全（56%）、担心副作用（53%）以及认为其他人更需要疫苗（44%）。
结论
24%的年轻人对接种 COVID-19 疫苗犹豫不决，公共卫生干预措施应针对犹豫的原因，解决对安全性和副作用的担忧，并强调疫苗对这一人群的重要性。
