Existing research on the association between COVID-19 vaccination and quantitatively measured mental health outcomes is scarce. We conducted a cross-sectional telephone survey on a random sample of 1039 adult Greek citizens in June 2021. Among the participants, 39.6% were vaccinated with two doses, 23.1% with one dose, 21.4% were planning to become vaccinated later, and 8.1% refused vaccination. Compared to those fully vaccinated, those against vaccination ("deniers") and those who planned to do so later on ("not vaccinated yet") had significantly higher scores across three stress, anxiety, and depression construct scales. Our findings suggest an association between COVID-19 vaccination status and mental health.
关于新冠病毒疫苗接种与定量测量的心理健康结果之间关联的现有研究很少。2021年6月，我们对1039名成年希腊公民的随机样本进行了一项横断面电话调查。在参与者中，39.6%接种了两剂疫苗，23.1%接种了一剂，21.4%计划稍后接种，8.1%拒绝接种。与完全接种疫苗的人相比，反对接种疫苗的人（“否认者”）和计划稍后接种的人（“尚未接种疫苗者”）在压力、焦虑和抑郁三个量表上的得分显著更高。我们的研究结果表明新冠病毒疫苗接种状况与心理健康之间存在关联。
