Vaccine hesitancy is an ongoing problem and determining the factors that increase the vaccination rate in various countries of the world might be useful for further implementation of efficient public health policies and negating anti-vaccination campaigns.
Human Development Index (HDI), Education Index (EI), Democracy Index (DI), COVID-19 vaccination rates, COVID-19 data were collected from public sources such as UNDP - Human Development Reports, UNESCO - Education Index, Economist Intelligence, WHO- COVID-19 Dashboard, Our World In Data, The Financial Times COVID-19 Dashboard. Statistical analysis such as Pearson correlation, and linear regression analyses were done to determine a relation between the above-mentioned indices and COVID-19 vaccination rates (1-dose, 2-dose, booster, and combined).
HDI had the strongest positive correlation with the vaccination rates (1-dose- r (181) = 0.632, p < 0.001, 2-dose- r (181) = 0.671, p < 0.001, booster- r (181) = 0.718, p < 0.001, combined- 0.703, p < 0.001). EI (1-dose- r (177) = 0.560, p < 0.001, 2-dose- r (177) = 0.599, p < 0.001, booster- r (177) = 0.642, p < 0.001, combined- 0.626, p < 0.001), DI (1-dose- r (163) = 0.445, p < 0.001, 2-dose- r (163) = 0.479, p < 0.001, booster- r (163) = 0.534, p < 0.001, combined- 0.508, p < 0.001), as well as Geographic location (1-dose- η (Eta) = 0.610 p < 0.001, 2-dose- η (Eta) = 0.633 p < 0.001, booster- η (Eta) = 0.657, p < 0.001, combined- η (Eta) = 0.645, p < 0.001) had positive correlation with vaccination rates.
There is a strong positive correlation of COVID-19 vaccination rates with HDI and EI.
疫苗犹豫是一个持续存在的问题，确定增加世界各国疫苗接种率的因素可能有助于进一步实施有效的公共卫生政策，并否定反疫苗接种运动。
人类发展指数（HDI）、教育指数（EI）、民主指数（DI）、COVID-19 疫苗接种率、COVID-19 数据均从联合国开发计划署-人类发展报告、联合国教科文组织-教育指数、经济学人智库、世界卫生组织-COVID-19 数据板、我们的世界数据、金融时报 COVID-19 数据板等公共来源收集。进行了皮尔逊相关和线性回归分析，以确定上述指数与 COVID-19 疫苗接种率（1 剂、2 剂、加强针和混合）之间的关系。
HDI 与疫苗接种率呈最强正相关（1 剂-r（181）=0.632，p<0.001，2 剂-r（181）=0.671，p<0.001，加强针-r（181）=0.718，p<0.001，混合-0.703，p<0.001）。EI（1 剂-r（177）=0.560，p<0.001，2 剂-r（177）=0.599，p<0.001，加强针-r（177）=0.642，p<0.001，混合-r（177）=0.626，p<0.001），DI（1 剂-r（163）=0.445，p<0.001，2 剂-r（163）=0.479，p<0.001，加强针-r（163）=0.534，p<0.001，混合-r（163）=0.508，p<0.001），以及地理位置（1 剂-η（Eta）=0.610，p<0.001，2 剂-η（Eta）=0.633，p<0.001，加强针-η（Eta）=0.657，p<0.001，混合-η（Eta）=0.645，p<0.001）与疫苗接种率呈正相关。
COVID-19 疫苗接种率与 HDI 和 EI 呈正相关。
