Many countries have initiated a booster dose for COVID-19 vaccination. However, little is known about the association between adverse events to vaccination and individual psychological status and willingness to receive the booster dose. From December 1, 2021 to February 1, 2022, 474 participants answered a questionnaire in a university town in China, and information about previous adverse events, anxiety status, and vaccination intention were collected. Chi-square test and logistic regression models were used to analyze the factors associated with willingness to receive booster dose of vaccine. Previous adverse events, such as pain at the injection site, fatigue, muscle pain and headache were associated with anxiety of the participants. About 76.2% of the participants were willing to receive booster dose of vaccine. However, adverse event was not associated with their willingness to receive the booster dose. Participants with age ≤25 were less willing to receive the booster dose, although the association was not statistically significant in the multivariable model. In conclusion, the adverse events of COVID-19 vaccination were associated with psychology status of the vaccinated people. It is still necessary to strengthen the public education on COVID-19 vaccination to improve the vaccination willingness of people, especially among the young people.
许多国家已经开始为 COVID-19 接种加强针。然而，对于接种后不良反应与个体心理状态和接种加强针意愿之间的关系，人们知之甚少。2021 年 12 月 1 日至 2022 年 2 月 1 日，在中国的一个大学城，474 名参与者回答了一份问卷，收集了他们之前的不良反应、焦虑状况和接种意愿信息。采用卡方检验和逻辑回归模型分析了与接种加强针意愿相关的因素。接种部位疼痛、疲劳、肌肉疼痛和头痛等先前的不良反应与参与者的焦虑有关。约 76.2%的参与者愿意接种加强针。然而，不良反应与他们接种加强针的意愿无关。≤25 岁的参与者不太愿意接种加强针，尽管在多变量模型中，这种关联没有统计学意义。总之，COVID-19 疫苗接种的不良反应与接种者的心理状态有关。仍有必要加强 COVID-19 疫苗接种的公众教育，以提高人们的接种意愿，尤其是在年轻人中。
