Prevalence and associated factors of intention of COVID-19 vaccination among healthcare workers in China: application of the Health Belief Model

Interrogating COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy in the Philippines with a Nationwide Open-Access Online Survey

“…Multivariable analysis revealed that HBM constructs were associated with vaccination intention in the Philippines, which is in accordance with other studies from the Asia-Pacific region (Wong et al, 2020, 2021; Lin et al, 2020; Yu et al, 2021; Kabir et al, 2021; Huynh et al, 2021; Tao, Wang & Liu, 2021) Perceptions of high susceptibility, high severity, and significant benefits were all good predictors for vaccination intent. A study to interrogate vaccine hesitancy among Filipinos in two urban communities in Manila before the COVID-19 pandemic also found that respondents who believed in the protective nature of vaccines were less likely to report vaccine hesitancy and were nine times less likely to refuse vaccination for their children because of negative media exposure (Migriño et al, 2020).…”

“…Table 3 shows that most participants were willing to pay PHP1,000 [USD20.38] (PHP1,500/2,000/2,500 vs. PHP500/1,000 and PHP3,000/3,500/4,000 vs. PHP500/1,000) revealed that individuals aged 31 to 40 displayed a higher WTP: PHP3,000/3,500/4,000 There are many possible reasons for this difference in reported vaccine confidence Multivariable analysis revealed that HBM constructs were associated with vaccination intention in the Philippines, which is in accordance with other studies from the Asia-Pacific region (Wong et al, 2020(Wong et al, , 2021Lin et al, 2020;Yu et al, 2021;Kabir et al, 2021;Huynh et al, 2021;Tao, Wang & Liu, 2021) Perceptions of high susceptibility, high severity, and significant benefits were all good predictors for vaccination intent. A study to interrogate vaccine hesitancy among Filipinos in two urban communities in protective nature of vaccines were less likely to report vaccine hesitancy and were nine times less likely to refuse vaccination for their children because of negative media exposure (Migriño et al, 2020).…”

“…Moreover, several studies have shown that the HBM constructs can serve as an important predictor of influenza vaccination uptake (Brewer et al, 2007; Shahrabani, Benzion & Yom Din, 2009; Shahrabani & Benzion, 2010; Tsutsui, Benzion & Shahrabani, 2012). During the COVID-19 pandemic, the HBM was used to assess the root causes of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond (Wong et al, 2020, 2021; Lin et al, 2020; Yu et al, 2021; Kabir et al, 2021; Shmueli, 2021; Huynh et al, 2021; Tao, Wang & Liu, 2021; Mahmud et al, 2021; Banik et al, 2021).…”

Opposing Mechanisms Involving Perceived Benefits versus Safety Partially Explained an Increase in COVID-19 Vaccination Intention among Unvaccinated Chinese Adults during a Post-Rollout Period: Results of Two Serial Surveys

“…This study is the first one reporting a significant association between the perceived travel-related advantage and COVID-19 vaccination intention, which was stronger in this study than the widely reported association between the perceived benefits of protection and vaccination intention [31,35]. Consistently, another local study found that "vaccine passports for overseas travel" was the strongest among a list of incentives for COVID-19 vaccination (e.g., relaxation of social distancing and granting work leave to vaccinated people) [17].…”

“…Some single items were used. Nevertheless, similar items have been used in previous studies on COVID-19 vaccination intention/behaviors [18,35]. Furthermore, only two major types of perceived benefits were considered in this study, while there are other perceived benefits (e.g., psychological relief).…”
