In March 2021, the possible link between the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine and some cases of blood clots lead several governments to suspend the administration of said vaccine, or to adjust their administration strategies, regardless of the fact that both EMA and WHO claimed the benefits of the vaccine to far outweigh its risks. The lack of a coordinated decision-making process between different health authorities possibly had an impact on people's trust in the health authorities themselves, and on their willingness to vaccinate against COVID-19. In this study, we assessed the impact of the Astrazeneca case on a sample of 1000 Italian participants. The results demonstrate that a large part of the population is willing to delay the vaccination to be granted a vaccine perceived as "better". We also assessed the importance of several socio-demographic and psychological factors in predicting hesitancy and discuss the implications for public communication strategies.
2021年3月，牛津-阿斯利康疫苗与部分血栓病例之间可能存在的联系导致多个国家的政府暂停该疫苗的接种，或调整其接种策略，尽管欧洲药品管理局和世界卫生组织均称该疫苗的益处远大于风险。不同卫生当局之间缺乏协调一致的决策过程，这可能影响了人们对卫生当局本身的信任，以及他们接种新冠疫苗的意愿。在本研究中，我们评估了阿斯利康事件对1000名意大利参与者样本的影响。结果表明，很大一部分人群愿意推迟接种疫苗，以等待接种一种被认为“更好”的疫苗。我们还评估了若干社会人口学和心理因素在预测疫苗犹豫方面的重要性，并讨论了其对公共沟通策略的启示。
