COVID-19 vaccination is an effective method for dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. This study proposed and validated a theoretical intention model for explaining the COVID-19 vaccination intention (CVI) of the public. The theoretical intention model incorporated trust in vaccines, two types of risk perception (risk perception of COVID-19 and risk perception of COVID-19 vaccination), and perceived benefit into a theory of planned behavior (TPB). Structural equation modeling was utilized to test the theoretical intention model with data collected from 816 Chinese adults in China. The results confirmed the crucial role of trust in vaccines, risk perception, and perceived benefit in shaping the CVI of the public. In addition, TPB was found to be applicable in a research context. The theoretical intention model accounted for 78.8% of the variance in CVI. Based on the findings, several practical recommendations for improving COVID-19 vaccination rates were discussed.
新冠疫苗接种是应对新冠疫情的有效方法。本研究提出并验证了一个理论意向模型，用于解释公众的新冠疫苗接种意向（CVI）。该理论意向模型将对疫苗的信任、两种风险认知（对新冠的风险认知和对新冠疫苗接种的风险认知）以及感知收益纳入计划行为理论（TPB）。利用结构方程模型，对从中国816名成年人收集的数据进行分析，以检验该理论意向模型。结果证实了对疫苗的信任、风险认知和感知收益在塑造公众新冠疫苗接种意向方面的关键作用。此外，还发现计划行为理论适用于本研究情境。该理论意向模型解释了78.8%的新冠疫苗接种意向方差。基于研究结果，讨论了提高新冠疫苗接种率的若干实用建议。
