“…The proportion is also similar to that of a study on parents’ intentions to vaccinate children with the basic COVID-19 vaccine (86.75%) in December 2020 [ 39 ]. Moreover, it is higher than the 75.2% willingness rate of booster vaccination in the Chinese sample reported by one study in April 2021 [ 40 ] and 76.8% willingness rate reported by another study in May 2022 [ 41 ]. In the US, 61.8% willingness rate regarding the booster vaccination was reported in July 2021 [ 42 ].…”

The booster vaccination of COVID-19 is being implemented in most parts of the world. This study used behavioral psychology to investigate the predictors of parents’ intentions regarding the COVID-19 booster vaccination for their children. This is a cross-sectional study with a self-designed questionnaire based on two behavioral theories—protective motivation theory (PMT) and theory of planned behavior (TPB). A stratified multi-stage sampling procedure was conducted in Nanjing, China, and multivariable regression analyses were applied to examine the parents’ intentions. The intention rate was 87.3%. The response efficacy (ORa = 2.238, 95% CI: 1.360–3.682) and response cost (ORa = 0.484, 95% CI: 0.319–0.732) in the PMT, were significant psychological predictors of parents’ intentions, and so were the attitude (ORa = 2.619, 95% CI: 1.480–4.636) and behavioral control (ORa = 3.743, 95% CI: 2.165–6.471) in the TPB. The findings of crucial independent predictors in the PMT and TPB constructs inform the evidence-based formulation and implementation of strategies for booster vaccination in children.

“…The finding that younger individuals are more hesitant to receive the booster dose is consistent with previous literature from various countries [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ], as well as studies of age patterns in primary vaccination against COVID [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. Only a few studies do not replicate this age pattern when estimating the willingness to receive a booster dose [ 32 , 33 ]. Our subgroup analyses, wherein we reran the analyses while splitting the sample into young, medium-aged, and old, provide an explanation for the observed age pattern: the old are willing to take boosters at a high level, irrespective of their protection motivation, whereas the willingness of the young depends on their sense of society being threatened, their sense of self-efficacy, their sense that the proposed behavior makes a difference (i.e., response efficacy), and their perceptions of cost related to complying with the recommended response (i.e., response cost).…”

Willingness to Take the Booster Vaccine in a Nationally Representative Sample of Danes

We estimate the willingness to take the booster dose in a representative sample of Danes. We estimate an overall willingness in the adult Danish population of about 87 percent and a willingness of about 95.5 percent among primary vaccine takers. Moreover, we show that these percentages are significantly lower among younger populations, as well as among groups who do not see COVID-19 as a threat to society, those who do not feel that they have the ability to follow recommendations (‘self-efficacy’), those who do not perceive the advice of the health authorities as effective against disease spread (‘response efficacy’), and those who feel that the costs of following recommendations are high (‘response cost’).

“…Thus, individuals' willingness to accept a first booster dose is an important area of research. Several studies investigated the willingness of the general public to receive a first COVID-19 booster dose [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Among these studies, the percentage of individuals who were willing to take a first booster dose ranges from 44.6% [12] to 95.5% [14], while the percentage of unwilling individuals ranges from 1.0% [22] to 30.7% [12].…”

“…The literature suggests that older age, influenza vaccination, and confidence in COVID-19 vaccines are associated with the willingness of the general public to accept a booster, while adverse side effects after previous COVID-19 vaccination and concerns for serious side effects after booster doses are associated with vaccine hesitancy [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

Predictors of Willingness of the General Public to Receive a Second COVID-19 Booster Dose or a New COVID-19 Vaccine: A Cross-Sectional Study in Greece

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Given the concerns of waning immunity from the primary COVID-19 vaccines and the first booster dose, we conducted an online cross-sectional study in May 2022 to investigate willingness to receive a second COVID-19 booster dose or a new COVID-19 vaccine and its associated factors. Overall, 62% of the participants were willing to be vaccinated, 25.8% were unsure, and 12.3% were unwilling to be vaccinated. The main reasons against accepting a second COVID-19 booster dose/new COVID-19 vaccine were concerns about the side effects and the effectiveness and the opinion that further vaccination is unnecessary. Males, younger individuals, participants without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis, and those with good/very good self-perceived physical health were significantly more frequently willing to receive a second COVID-19 booster dose or a new COVID-19 vaccine. Additionally, increased fear of the COVID-19, increased trust in COVID-19 vaccinations, and decreased fear of a second booster dose or a new COVID-19 vaccine was associated with increased willingness. Our results show some hesitancy and unwillingness toward further COVID-19 vaccination and indicate that the fear of COVID-19 and trust in COVID-19 vaccination affects public opinion.
