The occurrence of COVID-19 led to the rapid development of several vaccines which were distributed around the world. Even though there had been a vast amount of information about both virus and vaccination, this process was potentially related to increased anxiety and thus affected the vaccination process.
The present study examined anxiety levels and body vigilance in subjects reporting for COVID-19 vaccination at different vaccination sites.
Instruments used included general socio-demographic questionnaires and specifically constructed ones such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), body vigilance scale (BVS), and coronavirus anxiety scale (CAS).
A total of 227 subjects enrolled in the study reported mild GAD and CAS scores and relatively low scores on BVS. When the subjects were divided according to a vaccination site (under supervision and non-supervised), it turned out that subjects vaccinated under supervision were more anxious (higher GAD and CAS) and had their body vigilance increased.
In conclusion, there is a need for highlighting the importance of efficient planning and organization of vaccination process, since to a certain extent it is driven by both anxiety and body vigilance.
新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）的出现促使多种疫苗迅速研发并在全球范围内分发。尽管已经有大量关于病毒和疫苗接种的信息，但这一过程可能与焦虑情绪增加有关，从而影响了疫苗接种进程。
本研究调查了在不同接种地点进行COVID-19疫苗接种的受试者的焦虑水平和身体警觉性。
使用的工具包括一般社会人口学问卷以及专门构建的问卷，如广泛性焦虑障碍（GAD）问卷、身体警觉性量表（BVS）和冠状病毒焦虑量表（CAS）。
共有227名受试者参与本研究，报告显示其GAD和CAS得分较低，BVS得分也相对较低。当根据接种地点（有监督和无监督）对受试者进行分组时，结果表明在有监督情况下接种疫苗的受试者更为焦虑（GAD和CAS得分更高），且身体警觉性增强。
总之，有必要强调高效规划和组织疫苗接种过程的重要性，因为在一定程度上，这一过程受到焦虑和身体警觉性的驱动。
