Abstract：
The current study sought to determine whether public perceptions of other vaccines and diseases than COVID-19 have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We longitudinally examined whether there had been a change from before the COVID-19 pandemic to during the pandemic in: (a) influenza vaccination behaviour and intentions; (b) the perceived benefit of childhood vaccines and influenza vaccines; (c) the perceived safety of childhood vaccines and influenza vaccines; (d) the perceived severity of measles and influenza; and (e) trust in healthcare professionals in two samples of Finnish adults (N = 205 in Study 1 and N = 197 in Study 2). The findings showed that during the pandemic, more people than before had received or wanted to receive the influenza vaccine. The respondents also believed that influenza was more dangerous during the pandemic and that vaccinations were safer and more beneficial. On the other hand, for childhood vaccines only perceived safety increased. Finally, in one of the studies, people had more confidence in medical professionals during the pandemic than they had before. Together, these findings imply a spillover of the COVID-19 pandemic on how people view other vaccines and illnesses.
摘要：
目前的研究试图确定公众对COVID-19以外的其他疫苗和疾病的看法是否受到COVID-19大流行的影响。我们纵向检查了从COVID-19大流行之前到大流行期间是否发生了以下变化：（a）流感疫苗接种行为和意图；（b）儿童疫苗和流感疫苗的感知益处；（c）儿童疫苗和流感疫苗的感知安全性；（d）麻疹和流感的感知严重程度；（e）在两个芬兰成年人样本中对医疗保健专业人员的信任（研究1中N=205，研究2中N=197）。研究结果表明，在大流行期间，接受或想要接种流感疫苗的人比以前多。受访者还认为，流感在大流行期间更加危险，接种疫苗更安全，更有益。另一方面,对于儿童疫苗，只有感知安全性增加。最后,在其中一项研究中，在大流行期间，人们对医疗专业人员比以前更有信心。一起,这些发现暗示了COVID-19大流行对人们如何看待其他疫苗和疾病的影响。
