Recent data indicates increasing hesitancy towards both COVID-19 and influenza vaccination. We studied attitudes towards COVID-19 booster, influenza, and combination influenza-COVID-19 booster vaccines in a nationally representative sample of US adults between May and June 2021 (n = 12,887). We used pre-qualification quotes to ensure adequate sample sizes for minority populations. Overall vaccine acceptance was 45% for a COVID-19 booster alone, 58% for an influenza vaccine alone, and 50% for a combination vaccine. Logistic regression showed lower acceptance among female, Black/African American, Native American/American Indian, and rural respondents. Higher acceptance was found among those with college and post-graduate degrees. Despite these differences, our results suggest that a combination vaccine may provide a convenient method of dual vaccination that may increase COVID-19 vaccination coverage.
最近的数据表明,人们对接种 COVID-19 疫苗和流感疫苗的犹豫情绪正在增加。我们在 2021 年 5 月至 6 月期间对美国成年人进行了一项全国代表性样本研究,调查了他们对 COVID-19 加强针、流感疫苗和流感-COVID-19 联合加强针疫苗的态度(n=12887)。我们使用了资格预审报价,以确保少数族裔人群有足够的样本量。单独接种 COVID-19 加强针的疫苗接受率为 45%,单独接种流感疫苗的疫苗接受率为 58%,接种联合疫苗的疫苗接受率为 50%。逻辑回归显示,女性、黑人/非裔美国人、美国原住民/印第安人以及农村受访者的接受率较低。而那些拥有大学和研究生学历的人则表现出更高的接受率。尽管存在这些差异,但我们的研究结果表明,联合疫苗可能提供一种方便的双重疫苗接种方法,从而提高 COVID-19 的疫苗接种率。
