Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The development of vaccines has been a significant factor in eliminating the pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). However, the primary series vaccination rate still falls short of our expectations, with an even lower rate of uptake for booster shots. This study examined demographic patterns of COVID-19 vaccination compliance by assessing patterns in the timing of the vaccine series start and vaccination completion and characterizing people by compliance with vaccination recommendations.
METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted online in August 2022. Participants answered questions about the COVID-19 vaccine and questions related to their personal backgrounds. We assessed the impact of demographic factors on COVID-19 vaccination using multivariable regression modeling.
RESULTS: Among 700 eligible participants, 61% (389) were highly adherent (i.e., started by late 2020 and received a booster dose), 22% (184) were moderately adherent (i.e., started later than June 2021, and/or did not receive the booster dose), and 17% (127) were unvaccinated. Compliance was relatively low among non-Hispanic Black Americans, those with no religious affiliation, and among Independents and Republicans.
CONCLUSIONS: Vaccination compliance varies across demographic groups. Race/ethnicity, religion, and political affiliation are highly associated with vaccination compliance. To promote vaccination compliance and decrease vaccine hesitancy, the government and healthcare institutions should establish a positive image to obtain public trust and adopt effective vaccine education and intervention.
摘要:
背景:疫苗的开发是消除新型冠状病毒(SARS-CoV-2)引起的大流行的重要因素。然而,主要系列疫苗接种率仍然低于我们的预期,加强注射的吸收率甚至更低。这项研究通过评估疫苗系列开始和疫苗接种完成的时间模式,并通过遵守疫苗接种建议来表征人们,研究了COVID-19疫苗接种依从性的人口统计学模式。
方法:2022年8月在线进行了横断面调查。参与者回答了有关COVID-19疫苗的问题以及与他们的个人背景有关的问题。我们使用多变量回归模型评估了人口统计学因素对COVID-19疫苗接种的影响。
结果:在700名符合条件的参与者中,61%(389)是高度粘附的(即,从2020年底开始,并接受了加强剂量),22%(184)为中度粘附(即,迟于2021年6月开始,和/或没有接受加强剂量),17%(127)未接种疫苗。非西班牙裔美国黑人的合规性相对较低,那些没有宗教信仰的人,在独立人士和共和党人中。
结论:不同人口群体的疫苗接种依从性不同。种族/民族,宗教,和政治派别与疫苗接种依从性高度相关。促进疫苗接种依从性,减少疫苗接种犹豫,政府和医疗机构应树立正面形象,以获得公众信任,并采取有效的疫苗教育和干预措施。
