Vaccines (Basel). 2022 Jul 15;10(7):1129. doi: 10.3390/vaccines10071129.
(1) Background: Although the evidence is consistent that vaccines for COVID-19 effectively prevent severe illness or death, the rapid development of vaccines has led to increased beliefs about possible negative consequences and conspiracy theories about the vaccine. Several factors influence whether or not people decide to be vaccinated. Some studies suggest that our perception of what significant others do and think influences our behavior. (2) Methods: This study evaluates the predictive role of beliefs about negative consequences of the COVID-19 vaccine, conspiracy beliefs about this vaccine, and social influence on the intention to vaccinate against COVID-19 in three Latin American and Caribbean countries: Chile, Mexico, and Colombia. Using convenience sampling, 2075 adults from Chile (48.3%), Mexico (27.6%), and Colombia (24.6%) participated by answering an online questionnaire with variables of interest. (3) Results: Despite the differences between countries, the results showed that the proposed model is invariant and explains between 56-66% of the COVID-19 vaccination intent. Specifically, controlling for age, socioeconomic status, political orientation, and educational level, we found that beliefs about the negative consequences of the COVID-19 vaccine were the main predictor followed by social influence. Beliefs in conspiracy theories did not predict vaccination intention (4) Conclusions: Considering these variables in campaigns to boost vaccination intention is discussed.
(1) 背景：尽管有一致证据表明新冠疫苗能有效预防重症或死亡，但疫苗的快速研发导致人们对其可能的负面后果的担忧增加，有关疫苗的阴谋论也甚嚣尘上。有几个因素会影响人们是否决定接种疫苗。一些研究表明，我们对重要他人的行为和想法的认知会影响我们的行为。(2) 方法：本研究评估了对新冠疫苗负面后果的看法、对该疫苗的阴谋论信念以及社会影响在智利、墨西哥和哥伦比亚这三个拉丁美洲和加勒比国家对新冠疫苗接种意愿的预测作用。采用便利抽样法，来自智利（48.3%）、墨西哥（27.6%）和哥伦比亚（24.6%）的2075名成年人通过回答包含相关变量的在线问卷参与了研究。(3) 结果：尽管各国之间存在差异，但结果表明所提出的模型具有不变性，并且能够解释56%至66%的新冠疫苗接种意愿。具体而言，在控制了年龄、社会经济地位、政治倾向和教育水平后，我们发现对新冠疫苗负面后果的看法是主要预测因素，其次是社会影响。阴谋论信念并不能预测接种意愿。(4) 结论：讨论了在提高疫苗接种意愿的宣传活动中考虑这些变量的问题。
