We sought to assess the extent to which subjective experiences of COVID-19 vaccine side effects among US adults are associated with political party identification.
An online survey was conducted of a national sample of US adults (N = 1259) identifying as either Republican or Democrat.
There was no significant difference by party identification in the perceived severity of vaccination side effects; however, Republicans were significantly less likely to recommend the vaccine to others in light of their experience (OR = 0.40; 95% CI, 0.31-0.51; P < 0.001). Republicans also reported having a larger share of COVID-19-vaccinated friends and family who experienced notable side effects (OR = 1.31; 95% CI, 1.02-1.68; P < 0.05). There was a positive association between respondents' perceived side-effect severity and the proportion of peers who also reported notable side effects (r = 0.43; P < 0.001).
Subjective appraisals of the vaccinated may affect broader vaccine acceptability.
我们旨在评估美国成年人对 COVID-19 疫苗副作用的主观体验与政党认同之间的关联程度。
对美国成年人（N=1259）进行了一项在线调查，这些成年人自认为是共和党人或民主党人。
在疫苗副作用的感知严重程度方面，政党认同没有显著差异；然而，鉴于他们的经历，共和党人向他人推荐疫苗的可能性明显较低（OR=0.40；95%CI，0.31-0.51；P<0.001）。共和党人还报告说，他们有更多的 COVID-19 疫苗接种朋友和家人经历了显著的副作用（OR=1.31；95%CI，1.02-1.68；P<0.05）。受访者对副作用严重程度的感知与报告有显著副作用的同龄人比例之间存在正相关关系（r=0.43；P<0.001）。
对已接种疫苗者的主观评估可能会影响更广泛的疫苗可接受性。
