To explore the associations between vaccine hesitancy and demographic and socio-economic characteristics, as well as perspective towards the COVID-19 and its vaccines.
Data were collected through four online surveys on Israel's representative sample in March (3/2 to 3/7, n = 1517), August (8/10-8/11, n = 925; 8/18-8/22, n = 1054), and September (9/22-9/24; n=1406), 2021. We employ a set of logistic regression models to explore the association between the vaccination action and intentions and the individual-level attributes.
We find that individual characteristics, such as age, ethnicity/religiosity, and income, were associated with the vaccination action and intention during the early stage of vaccine distribution. However, most of the discrepancies across demographic groups have disappeared as time passed, and once we limit to those who had not been infected. Lastly, individuals' perspectives toward COVID-19 and its vaccines have prediction power as high as 39% of the vaccination action and intention, higher than their demographic and socio-economic characteristics.
Our findings have the potential to facilitate efforts to increase vaccine uptake by targeting populations, which are the most likely to express hesitancy, and address reported barriers to receipt.
探讨疫苗犹豫与人口统计学和社会经济特征的关联，以及对 COVID-19 及其疫苗的看法。
通过对以色列代表性样本进行的四次在线调查收集数据，时间分别为 2021 年 3 月（3/2 日至 3/7 日，n=1517）、8 月（8/10 日至 8/11 日，n=925；8/18 日至 8/22 日，n=1054）和 9 月（9/22 日至 9/24 日，n=1406）。我们采用了一套逻辑回归模型来探索接种行为和意愿与个体属性之间的关系。
我们发现，在疫苗分发的早期阶段，个人特征（如年龄、族裔/宗教信仰和收入）与接种行为和意愿有关。然而，随着时间的推移，大多数人口统计学群体之间的差异已经消失，而且一旦我们限制在那些没有感染的人群中。最后，个人对 COVID-19 及其疫苗的看法具有高达 39%的接种行为和意愿的预测能力，高于他们的人口统计学和社会经济特征。
我们的研究结果有可能通过针对最有可能表达犹豫的人群来促进增加疫苗接种率的努力，并解决报告的接种障碍。
