Achieving high vaccination rates is key to containing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study evaluated the factors associated with uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Six hundred and seventy-six respondents were surveyed online between May and June 2021. Data on demographics, perception of the COVID-19 pandemic, and vaccine willingness and hesitancy factors were collected.
Approximately 54.6% of the respondents had received the COVID-19 vaccination. Age (p = 0.001), males (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.6, p = 0.026), ethnicity (p = 0.004), occupation (p = 0.003)), working in healthcare (OR 6.1, 95% CI 2.8-13.2, p < 0.001), smoking (OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.3-8.8, p = 0.014), seeing vaccination as a social responsibility (OR 3.8, 95% CI 1.2-12.0, p = 0.022) and believing the vaccine is important to end the COVID-19 pandemic (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.1-6.1, p = 0.020) were associated with greater vaccination uptake.
Social responsibility and well-being of collective society are important values associated with vaccine uptake in an Asian society. Understanding factors behind vaccine uptake can help advise public health measures and strategies to achieve high levels of vaccination.
实现高疫苗接种率是控制 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的关键。本研究评估了与 COVID-19 疫苗接种相关的因素。
2021 年 5 月至 6 月期间，对 676 名受访者进行了在线调查。收集了人口统计学、对 COVID-19 大流行的看法以及疫苗接种意愿和犹豫因素的数据。
约 54.6%的受访者已接种 COVID-19 疫苗。年龄（p=0.001）、男性（OR 1.7，95%CI 1.1-2.6，p=0.026）、族裔（p=0.004）、职业（p=0.003）、从事医疗保健工作（OR 6.1，95%CI 2.8-13.2，p<0.001）、吸烟（OR 3.3，95%CI 1.3-8.8，p=0.014）、将接种疫苗视为社会责任（OR 3.8，95%CI 1.2-12.0，p=0.022）和认为疫苗对结束 COVID-19 大流行很重要（OR 2.7，95%CI 1.1-6.1，p=0.020）与更高的疫苗接种率相关。
在亚洲社会中，社会责任和集体社会福祉是与疫苗接种相关的重要价值观。了解疫苗接种背后的因素可以帮助提供公共卫生措施和策略，以实现高疫苗接种率。
