“…In this review, 28 studies depicted the sociodemographic factors associated with public attitudes toward the COVID-19 vaccination. Coherent to findings from the literature [78], the most common factors found to influence vaccine acceptance at the microlevel were age, educational level, gender, race, and income status [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53]63,65,68,[71][72][73]. More willingness to receive a vaccine was reported in the older age group [23,25,27,31,34,35,38,53,65], while resistance, hesitancy, and lack of intention to be vaccinated emerged in the younger age group [29,35,51].…”

“…-Vaccine development is being pushed -COVID-19 vaccine antigen-carrying platforms have never been used -The production of new COVID-19 vaccines will not meet demand -Conspiracy theories -More than one type of COVID-19 vaccines is likely to be used within a country. Thus, the safety and efficacy profiles may vary Furthermore, immunity duration [68], timeframe of vaccination [63], fake or lowquality vaccines [46], country of vaccine origin [24,68] and information about inactivated vaccines [72] were other public concerns in the selected studies. The individuals who believed that immunity boosted by a vaccine would be for a short period, vaccine development was expedited, and the production process was pushed, and that the vaccines are most probably fake would report negative attitude towards COVID-19 vaccines.…”

Major hindrances to getting a COVID-19 vaccine include vaccine hesitancy, skepticism, refusal, and anti-vaccine movements. Several studies have been conducted on attitudes of the public towards COVID-19 vaccines and the potential influencing factors. The purpose of this scoping review is to summarize the data available on the various factors influencing public attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination. This scoping review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) Statement. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central were searched without restrictions to reclaim all publications on the factors that shape individuals’ attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines from 1 January 2020 to 15 February 2021. Fifty studies were included. The scoping review revealed that the factors influencing public attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccines were embedded within the different levels of the socio-ecological model. These factors included the sociodemographic characteristics of the individuals, individual factors, social and organizational factors. In addition, certain characteristics of COVID-19 vaccines themselves influenced public attitudes towards accepting the vaccines. Understanding various population needs and the factors shaping public attitudes towards the vaccines would support planning for evidence-based multilevel interventions in order to enhance global vaccine uptake.

“…Despite the difference of study sites, the willingness to vaccinate children in our survey were in line with a previous survey among factory workers in Shenzhen (72.6%) ( Zhang et al, 2020 ). When concentrating on the surveys in mainland China, the willingness of vaccination reported in the general population were relatively higher (over 80%) ( Chen et al, 2021 ; Lin et al, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2021 ), suggesting that a demanded progress of vaccine promotion remains to be made in Shenzhen. A high vaccination coverage is indispensable to achieve herd immunity to COVID-19 (at least 60%) ( Anderson et al, 2020 ).…”

Background Parental attitudes towards the vaccines play a key role in the success of the herd immunity for the COVID-19. Psychological health seemed to be a controversial determinant of vaccine hesitancy and remained to be investigated. This study attempted to measure parental psychological distress, attitudes towards the COVID-19 vaccine, and to explore the potential associations. Methods An online survey using convenience sampling method was conducted among parents within the school public health network of Shenzhen. Demographic information and attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination were collected. The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4) was applied to measure psychological distress. Results Overall, 4,748 parents were included (average age: 40.28, standard deviation: 5.08). More than one fifth of them demonstrated psychological distress, in which only 3.3% were moderate to severe symptom. The proportions of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy for themselves, their spouses, and their children were 25.2%, 26.1%, and 27.3%, respectively. Parents with psychological distress were more likely to suffer vaccine hesitancy for themselves (OR: 1.277, 95%CI: 1.091∼1.494), for their spouses (OR:1.276, 95%CI: 1.088∼1.496) and children (OR:1.274, 95%CI: 1.092∼1.486). These associations tended to be more significant among parents with mild or severe psychological distress. Limitation Non-random sampling limited the generalization of our findings to all parents. Conclusion Parents had a low level of psychological distress but relatively high willingness of COVID-19 vaccination when there was no local epidemic but persistent risk of imported cases. Targeted health education and intervention strategies should be provided to people with vaccine hesitancy, especially for those who were susceptible to psychological distress.

“…These results are in line with previous studies. 16,17,29,30 In the case of the 2009 influenza pandemic, perceived risk of infection translated into preventive behaviors, including vaccination. 31 Similarly, the experience of receiving a vaccine have been shown to increase an individual's confidence in the efficacy and safety of other vaccines.…”

“…Previous studies have reported that age, gender, race, education level, influenza vaccination status, and fear of COVID-19 transmission are associated with the willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine. [14][15][16][17][18] In Japan, willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine was previously examined in a single study of 1,100 adults, with results showing that vaccine hesitancy was higher in Japan than in other countries, particularly among women. 19 However, gender differences in the determinants of willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine, such as demographic and health characteristics, influenza vaccination status, and fear of COVID-19 transmission, have not been fully investigated.…”

Many factors are related to vaccination intentions. However, gender differences in the determinants of intention to get the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine have not been fully investigated. This study examined gender differences in the determinants of willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine among the working-age population in Japan. We conducted a cross-sectional study of Japanese citizens aged 20-65 years using an online self-administered questionnaire in December 2020. Logistic regression analysis was performed. Among 27,036 participants (13,814 men and 13,222 women), the percentage who were willing to get the COVID-19 vaccine was lower among women than among men (33.0% vs. 41.8%). Age and education level showed a gender gap regarding the association with willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine: men who were older or had a higher level of education were more willing to get the vaccine, whereas women aged 30-49 years and those with a higher level of education showed a relatively low willingness to get the vaccine. For both men and women, marriage, higher annual household income, underlying disease, current smoking, vaccination for influenza during the current season, and fear of COVID-19 transmission were linked to a higher likelihood of being willing to get the COVID-19 vaccine. These findings give important insight into identifying target groups in need of intervention regarding COVID-19 vaccination, especially among women. Providing education about COVID-19 and influenza vaccination in the workplace may be an effective strategy to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake.
