“…Even after receiving a vaccination that is supposed to restore the world to being the 'safe' place, older adults who hold negative world assumptions may be unable to perceive the world as secure and feel protected from the virus; and therefore, experienced depression (11.0%). Such older adults may have adopted a negative world view of 'what-was-will-be' (see Hoffman et al, 2021b) common after widespread stressors. In line with the suggestion of Hoffman et al (2021b), this may express a view that equilibrium may take time to reconstruct, despite the initiation of vaccine programs.…”

Background: With the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the aging population has been shown to be highly vulnerable. As a result, policy makers and the media urged older adults to restrict social interactions, placing them at greater risk of mental health problems, such as depression. However, there has been little previous attempt to examine COVID-19 vaccine related risk factors and depressive symptoms amongst older adults. Methods: Participants (938 older adults, Mage=68.99, SD=3.41, range 65-85) answered an online questionnaire at the start of the COVID-19 vaccination program in Israel. Participants completed measures of background characteristics, world assumptions, COVID-19 vaccine related variables, and symptoms of depression. Results: Univariate logistic regression revealed that more negative world assumptions were linked with clinical depression levels. Conclusions: Older adults in our sample were susceptible to unique factors associated with clinical depression influenced by their world assumptions during their COVID-19 vaccination. The high level of depression following vaccination indicates that it may take time to recover from depression associated with pandemic distress. Cognitive interventions that focus on world assumptions are recommended.
