Vaccination coverage for COVID-19 varies among immigrant groups in Norway and between different countries. Most likely, childhood/adolescence and consistent contact with the country of birth help form the attitudes to and the desire for vaccination. We therefore compared the vaccination rate among European-born immigrants in Norway and the vaccination coverage in their countries of birth.
Vaccination coverage, the percentage of the adult population that had received at least one vaccination dose, for 22 European countries with universal access to vaccines by 31 August 2021 was retrieved from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and from the Norwegian emergency preparedness register for COVID-19 for the equivalent immigrant groups in Norway on 30 September 2021. Scatter plots with least-squares regression lines showed the association between the vaccination coverage in the country of birth and the rate in the equivalent immigration group in Norway, in total and by time of residence in Norway (< 6 years and ≥ 6 years).
The model estimated an increase in the vaccination rate in immigrant groups in Norway of 0.64 percentage points for each percentage point increase in the vaccination coverage in their European countries of birth, and explained 63 % of the variation in the vaccination rate in the immigrant groups. There was no statistically significant difference in the co-variation with the country of birth when comparing immigrants with short versus long time of residence.
There is a correlation between the vaccination rate for COVID-19 among European-born immigrants in Norway and the coverage in their countries of birth. Attitudes to and desire for vaccination varies between countries and can explain part of the observed differences between immigrant groups in Norway.
在挪威，不同移民群体之间以及不同国家之间的 COVID-19 疫苗接种率存在差异。很可能，儿童/青少年时期以及与原籍国的持续接触有助于形成对疫苗接种的态度和愿望。因此，我们比较了挪威出生的欧洲移民的疫苗接种率及其原籍国的疫苗接种率。
2021 年 8 月 31 日之前，所有欧洲国家都有获得疫苗的机会，我们从欧洲疾病预防控制中心和挪威 COVID-19 应急准备登记处获取了 2021 年 9 月 30 日挪威出生的欧洲移民中相当于移民群体的疫苗接种率。散点图和最小二乘回归线显示了原籍国的疫苗接种率与挪威出生的移民群体的接种率之间的关联，分为总人群和按在挪威居住时间（<6 年和≥6 年）两个组。
该模型估计，挪威移民群体的疫苗接种率每增加 1 个百分点，就会相应增加 0.64 个百分点，而这一模型解释了移民群体疫苗接种率变化的 63%。在比较短时间和长时间居住的移民群体时，出生国的变异与模型的变异没有统计学上的显著差异。
挪威出生的欧洲移民的 COVID-19 疫苗接种率与原籍国的接种率之间存在相关性。对疫苗接种的态度和愿望因国家而异，这可以部分解释挪威移民群体之间观察到的差异。
