“…The core concept of “uncertainty” in our study captured various aspects of uncertainty related to COVID-19 vaccination identified in previous studies [ 39 , 40 , 41 ], including the speed of development, perceived lack of sufficient testing, and long-term side effects. Past research comparing three hypothetical vaccine scenarios of vaccines being approved in one week, one year, or in two years, found that the shortest-term scenario was associated with significantly lower perceived vaccine efficacy and higher vaccine risks than the longer duration scenarios [ 40 ]. An Australian study [ 22 ] of 3200 adults found more than half of respondents who were hesitant about the COVID-19 vaccine said that they ‘plan to wait and see’ if it is safe, while similarly half of participants in the study of Bangladeshi adults preferred to delay vaccination until there was further information confirming the efficacy of the vaccine [ 35 ].…”

Understanding motivations and concerns surrounding COVID-19 vaccine uptake is important to reduce vaccine hesitancy and inform strategies to mitigate concerns and increase vaccine uptake. This study aimed to explore motivations and concerns associated with COVID-19 vaccination among adults seeking their first COVID-19 vaccine in a regional Australian community with low prevalence of COVID-19, who received a medical consult prior to vaccination. Medical records from consults were audited and the modified Framework Method was used to conduct qualitative content analysis of data, generating themes and overall core concepts related to motivations for COVID-19 vaccination and associated concerns. There were 102 people included in the study, 81% of whom were aged ≥60 years. Concerns surrounding COVID-19 vaccination included five core concepts: 1. Perceived vaccine risks, 2. Perceived vaccine performance, 3. Uncertainty, 4. Autonomy, and 5. Fairness in access; and a further five core concepts were generated from motivations to seek vaccination: 1. Protection, 2. Occupational or facility responsibility or requirement, 3. Trust in primary healthcare physician, 4. Autonomy, and 5. Civic duty. These motivating factors and concerns can be used to inform strategies and education to increase vaccine uptake in ongoing and future vaccine rollouts.

“…Li and Zheng (2020) found that online information seeking about COVID-19 had a positive impact on intention to engage in preventive behaviors, such as wearing masks. Similarly, Rosenthal and Cummings (2021) found that media dependency was positively related to willingness to take the COVID-19 vaccine. Considering the bright side of online health information seeking, we first hypothesize that:…”

“…O. Lee & Kim, 2015). On the misinformation side, many coordinated anti-vaccination groups exaggerate vaccine side effects to promote conspiracy theories and misinformation on the internet (Chou & Budenz, 2020), which may enhance perceived risks and reduce willingness to take the vaccine (Rosenthal & Cummings, 2021). Also, people who receive information about vaccine-related risks may feel uncertain and lose confidence in vaccination (Nan & Madden, 2012; Yan et al, 2020).…”

This study examines how online vaccine information seeking is related to vaccination intention in the United States and China during the initial stage of their coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination programs. Analysis of the pooled sample showed a positive relationship between online vaccine information seeking and vaccination intention. There was also a negative indirect effect via perceived information overload, vaccine risk perception, and negative affective response. Multigroup analysis revealed differences between the United States and China. This study highlights the bright and dark sides of online health information during a global pandemic and has practical implications for communication campaigns to promote health-related behaviors.

“…These people, who believe that even if the virus is approached, can be easily overcome, they find it unnecessary to be vaccinated [ 35 ]. Changing these approaches of people is important to prevent dangerous epidemic diseases such as COVID-19 [ 36 ]. In this context, short video recordings explaining the dangers of this epidemic in detail should be shared with the public.…”

This study defines key issues for sustainable healthcare policy in COVID-19 period. For this purpose, 9 different criteria that affect vaccine hesitancy are selected with the help of a detailed literature evaluation. A novel hybrid fuzzy decision-making model is developed using DEMATEL and TOPSIS based on q-Rung orthopair fuzzy sets. A comparative evaluation has also been performed using IF DEMATEL and PF DEMATEL. The results of all different methods are almost the same that indicates the reliability and coherency of the proposed model. The findings demonstrate that religion is the most critical factor that causes vaccine hesitancy. It is also defined that active population in daily life is the most important alternative. Developing countries should mainly focus on the actions regarding the religious issues to have sustainable healthcare policies in COVID-19 period. In this context, religious leaders can be released to the media and give information that the vaccine is not against religious rules. This has a significant contribution to convince people who are against the vaccine. Furthermore, these countries should also give priorities to the active population in daily life. Because this group supports the workforce in the country very seriously, it can be possible to increase the workforce in the country by completing the vaccination of this group that helps to boost economic development.
