The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between double COVID-19 vaccine uptake and trust in effectiveness and safety of vaccination in general in 23 European Union (EU) countries.
Ecological study. Data was retrieved from the Flash Eurobarometer 494 and Our World in Data. We estimated Pearson's correlation coefficients and fitted multiple linear regression models.
There is a negative linear correlation between the percentage of people doubly vaccinated and the percentage of low trust in vaccine effectiveness (r = -0.48, p-value = 0.021), and the percentage of low trust in vaccine safety (r = -0.43, p-value = 0.041). There is a negative adjusted relation between the percentage of low trust in vaccine safety and the percentage of people doubly vaccinated (aβ:-0.25; 95% CI: -0.49,-0.01, p-value = 0.045).
An increase in health literacy of people living in certain countries in the EU may be needed to boost COVID-19 vaccine uptake.
本研究旨在评估 23 个欧盟（EU）国家中，双重接种 COVID-19 疫苗与对疫苗整体有效性和安全性的信任之间的关系。
生态研究。数据来自 Flash Eurobarometer 494 和 Our World in Data。我们估计了皮尔逊相关系数，并拟合了多元线性回归模型。
在双重接种人群的百分比和对疫苗有效性的低信任人群的百分比之间存在负线性相关（r=-0.48，p 值=0.021），以及对疫苗安全性的低信任人群的百分比之间存在负线性相关（r=-0.43，p 值=0.041）。对疫苗安全性的低信任程度与双重接种人群的百分比之间存在负相关关系（aβ=-0.25；95%CI：-0.49，-0.01，p 值=0.045）。
可能需要提高欧盟某些国家人民的健康素养，以提高 COVID-19 疫苗的接种率。
