The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the crucial role of vaccines in controlling the virus. Despite their effectiveness, however, vaccine hesitancy remained a challenge, particularly within certain population groups. This multi-disciplinary study investigates the diverse socio-demographic factors influencing COVID-19 vaccination decisions in the United States. Through a nationally representative survey of 5,240 people, the research explores the interplay of information sources, religious beliefs, political party, and demographic characteristics of the respondents. Our findings reveal associations of main sources of information with vaccination likelihood, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention demonstrating the highest association with full vaccination. Religious beliefs are significant determinants, with Evangelical Protestants exhibiting the lowest vaccination rates. We also highlight the intricate relationship between political leanings and vaccination behavior, emphasizing higher levels of vaccination among Democrats. Demographic variables, including age, education, gender, and race/ethnicity, also play pivotal roles, exposing disparities in vaccination access and decisions. In particular, older individuals and those with higher levels of education show a greater inclination to achieve full vaccination, while women and African Americans are less likely to attain complete vaccination. Lastly, while major ethnoracial groups seem to respond to different sources of information similarly, there are also nuanced differences, such as Asians being especially likely to be fully vaccinated if they depend on the CDC or other health sources while more disadvantaged groups seem less responsive to these sources. Overall, this research provides a comprehensive analysis of the nuanced factors shaping vaccination behavior. It contributes valuable knowledge to public health strategies, emphasizing the need for targeted communication campaigns tailored to diverse communities.
新冠疫情凸显了疫苗在控制病毒方面的关键作用。然而,尽管疫苗有效,但疫苗犹豫仍然是一个挑战,尤其是在某些人群中。这项多学科研究调查了影响美国新冠疫苗接种决策的各种社会人口因素。通过对5240人进行的全国代表性调查,该研究探讨了信息来源、宗教信仰、政党以及受访者人口特征之间的相互作用。我们的研究结果揭示了主要信息来源与疫苗接种可能性之间的关联,疾病控制与预防中心与全程接种的关联度最高。宗教信仰是重要的决定因素,福音派新教徒的疫苗接种率最低。我们还强调了政治倾向与疫苗接种行为之间的复杂关系,强调民主党人的疫苗接种率更高。人口变量,包括年龄、教育程度、性别和种族/族裔,也起着关键作用,揭示了疫苗接种机会和决策方面的差异。特别是,老年人和受教育程度较高的人表现出更高的全程接种倾向,而女性和非裔美国人完成全程接种的可能性较小。最后,虽然主要种族群体对不同信息来源的反应似乎相似,但也存在细微差别,例如,如果亚洲人依赖疾病控制与预防中心或其他健康信息来源,他们尤其有可能完成全程接种,而处境较为不利的群体对这些信息来源的反应似乎较小。总体而言,这项研究对影响疫苗接种行为的细微因素进行了全面分析。它为公共卫生战略贡献了宝贵的知识,强调了针对不同社区开展有针对性宣传活动的必要性。
