The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of concordance and discordance in the COVID-19 vaccination status of intimate couples. Partners are well known to influence each other's health behaviors, but previous reports of couples' COVID-19 vaccination status were not found. Among 1305 respondents to an on-line survey who were living with their partners, couples' COVID-19 vaccination status was 15.63% discordant and 84.37% concordant. Different potentially modifiable reasons for being unvaccinated were emphasized by unvaccinated participants with vaccinated partners and by vaccinated participants with unvaccinated partners. This study provides an estimate of the proportion of couples with discordant COVID-19 vaccine status. The development of tailored, scalable interventions potentially involving the partner might increase the COVID-19 vaccine concordance rate.
本研究旨在确定亲密伴侣之间 COVID-19 疫苗接种状况的一致性和不一致性的频率。众所周知,伴侣会相互影响彼此的健康行为,但之前并未发现有关夫妻 COVID-19 疫苗接种状况的报告。在一项在线调查中,有 1305 名与伴侣同住的受访者中,夫妻 COVID-19 疫苗接种状况不一致的比例为 15.63%,一致的比例为 84.37%。未接种疫苗的参与者及其接种疫苗的伴侣强调了未接种疫苗的不同潜在可改变原因,而接种疫苗的参与者及其未接种疫苗的伴侣也强调了不同潜在可改变原因。本研究提供了夫妻之间 COVID-19 疫苗接种状况不一致的比例的估计。制定针对伴侣的量身定制、可扩展的干预措施,可能会提高 COVID-19 疫苗的一致性。
