“…Respondents who perceived the information to be sufficient were 3.08 times more likely to vaccinate their children than those who judged the information to be insufficient. In agreement with previous studies, the results of this study indicated that perceived sufficiency of information was positively associated with vaccine acceptance as well as perceived vaccine safety and effectiveness.…”

ImportanceVaccination against COVID-19 is an effective method for individuals to reduce negative health outcomes. However, widespread COVID-19 vaccination among children has been challenging owing to parental hesitancy.ObjectiveTo examine parental decision-making in favor of the COVID-19 vaccine for their children and its association with the sufficiency and credibility of the information about the vaccine.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cross-sectional survey study was conducted in South Korea from February 7 to 10, 2022, 7 weeks before initiation of the COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5 to 11 years. Parents were included if they spoke Korean and had at least 1 child in elementary school (grades 1-6). Parents and children were included in a 1:1 ratio; a total of 113 450 parents and 113 450 children were included in the analysis. Statistical analysis was performed between March and April 2022.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe main outcomes of interest were (1) parental acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination for their children and (2) its association with self-reported sufficiency and credibility of information about the vaccine. A multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate factors associated with parental decision-making in favor of COVID-19 vaccination; path analysis was used to examine indirect effects of information sufficiency and credibility.ResultsOf the 113 450 children, 58 342 (51.4%) were boys, and the mean (SD) age was 10.1 (1.5) years. Of the 113 450 parents who responded, 7379 (6.5%) were accepting vaccination for their children; 15 731 (13.9%) reported the vaccine-related information they received was sufficient, and 23 021 (20.3%) reported the information was credible. Parents who reported that the information was sufficient were 3.08 times (95% CI, 2.85-3.33; P &lt; .001) more likely to report being willing to vaccinate their children than those who believed the information was insufficient, and those who reported that the information was credible were 7.55 times (95% CI, 6.46-8.87; P &lt; .001) more likely to report being willing to vaccinate their children than those who believed the information was not credible. Higher levels of information sufficiency and credibility were associated with perceptions of increased vaccine safety (sufficiency: β = 0.08; P &lt; .001; credibility: β = 0.59; P &lt; .001) and effectiveness (sufficiency: β = 0.05; P &lt; .001; credibility: β = 0.60; P &lt; .001).Conclusions and RelevanceIn this study, a significant association was found between self-reported sufficiency and credibility of vaccine-related information and parental decision-making regarding COVID-19 vaccination for their children, suggesting that communications and policies that provide sound information are essential to improve vaccination rates.

Impfeinstellung, Erwartungen und Impferfahrung von Immunsupprimierten bei COVID-19-Impfungen

et al. 2022

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Immunsupprimierte sind seltener geimpft, gleichzeitig profitieren sie im Hinblick auf die Nutzen-Risiko-Abschätzung deutlich von vielen Impfungen – auch bei den neuen Impfstoffen gegen SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). Bei der Entscheidung für eine Impfung sind Einstellungen, Erwartungen und Erfahrungen in Bezug auf bisherige Impfungen maßgeblich. Fragestellung Welche Einstellungen haben immunsupprimierte Menschen gegenüber Impfungen allgemein und einer COVID-19 Impfung im Speziellen? Wie haben sie ihre COVID-19-Impfung erlebt? Material und Methoden Im Rahmen der CoCo-Immun-Studie wurden im Frühjahr und Sommer 2021 (11.01.2021–07.11.2021) immunsupprimierte Teilnehmende zu 2 Zeitpunkten zu ihren Erwartungen an eine COVID-19-Impfung und zum Erleben der COVID-19-Impfung mit Fragebögen befragt. Zusätzlich wurden soziodemografische Daten, allgemeine Einstellungen gegenüber Impfungen sowie Erfahrungen mit bisherigen Impfungen erhoben. Die Auswertung erfolgte mittels deskriptiver und bivariater Statistik. Ergebnisse Die 243 Befragten standen Impfungen überwiegend positiv und befürwortend gegenüber und erwarteten eine gute Verträglichkeit und Wirksamkeit. Frauen hatten weniger Vertrauen in die Sicherheit von Impfungen und häufiger Sorgen vor Impfreaktionen und -nebenwirkungen. Ältere Personen fühlten sich zum Zeitpunkt der Impfung besser informiert als jüngere. Personen, die über subjektive Nebenwirkungen bzw. Impfreaktionen bei vorangegangenen Impfungen berichteten, standen Impfungen und staatlichen Institutionen, die sie empfehlen, skeptischer gegenüber. Sie stimmten auch der Aussage „Rückblickend war die COVID-19-Impfung bisher harmlos für mich“ seltener zu. Diskussion Die COVID-19-Impfungen wurden von den befragten Personen überwiegend positiv antizipiert. Die Alters- und Geschlechtsunterschiede in den Zustimmungswerten deuten jedoch darauf hin, dass es unterschiedliche Informationsbedürfnisse gibt, auf die es in Aufklärungsgesprächen und Impfkampagnen einzugehen gilt.

Behavioural intention of receiving COVID-19 vaccination, social media exposures and peer discussions in China

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The study aimed to investigate behavioural intentions to receive free and self-paid COVID-19 vaccinations (BICV-F and BICV-SP) among Chinese university students if the vaccine was 80% effective with rare mild side effects, to examine their associations with social media exposures and peer discussions regarding COVID-19 vaccination, and to explore the mediational role of perceived information sufficiency about COVID-19 vaccination. An online anonymous survey (N = 6922) was conducted in November 2020 in five Chinese provinces. Logistic regression and path analysis were adopted. The prevalence of BICV-F and BICV-SP were 78.1% and 57.7%. BICV-F was positively associated with the frequencies of passive social media exposure (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.32, P < 0.001), active social media interaction (AOR = 1.13, P < 0.001) and peer discussions (AOR = 1.17, P < 0.001). Indirect effects of the three factors on BICV-F via perceived information sufficiency were all significant (P < 0.001). The direct effect of active social media interaction on BICV-F was significantly negative (P < 0.001). Similar associations/mediations were observed for BICV-SP. The COVID-19 vaccination intention of Chinese university students needs improvement. Boosting social media exposures and peer discussions may raise students' perceived information sufficiency and subsequently increase their vaccination intention. Considering the potential negative effect of active social media interaction, caution is needed when using social media to promote COVID-19 vaccination. 8Sitong Luo et al.
