COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) vaccines have become available; now, everyone has the opportunity to get vaccinated. We used Google Trends (GT) data to assess the global public interest in COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic. For the analysis, a period of 17 months was chosen (from Jan 19, 2020, to Jul 04, 2021). Interest in user queries was tracked by keywords (corona vaccine, COVID-19 vaccine development, Sputnik v, Pfizer vaccine, AstraZeneca vaccine, etc.). The geographic analysis of queries was also carried out. The interest of users in the vaccine is significantly increasing. It is focused on the side effects of vaccines, and users pay attention to vaccines' developers from different countries. The correlation between the scientific publications devoted to vaccine development and such requests of users on the internet is absent. This study shows that internet search patterns can be used to gauge public attitudes towards coronavirus vaccination. Safety concerns consistently high follow an interest in vaccine side effects. This data can be used to track and predict attitudes towards vaccination of populations from COVID-19 in different countries before global vaccination becomes available to help mitigate the adverse effects of the pandemic.
2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫苗已可供使用；现在，每个人都有机会接种疫苗。我们利用谷歌趋势（GT）数据评估了疫情期间全球公众对COVID-19疫苗的兴趣。为了进行分析，我们选择了17个月的时间段（从2020年1月19日至2021年7月4日）。通过关键词（新冠疫苗、COVID-19疫苗研发、卫星V疫苗、辉瑞疫苗、阿斯利康疫苗等）追踪用户查询的兴趣。还对查询进行了地理分析。用户对疫苗的兴趣显著增加。它集中在疫苗的副作用上，并且用户关注来自不同国家的疫苗研发者。致力于疫苗研发的科学出版物与用户在互联网上的此类请求之间不存在相关性。这项研究表明，互联网搜索模式可用于衡量公众对冠状病毒疫苗接种的态度。对疫苗副作用感兴趣之后，安全担忧一直居高不下。在全球范围内可接种疫苗之前，这些数据可用于追踪和预测不同国家人群对COVID-19疫苗接种的态度，以帮助减轻疫情的不利影响。
