“…Another important reason for this counterintuitive discovery may be related to the environment in which the participants were located. Specifically, during the current sampling period, China's ‘zero COVID-19’ policy was fully implemented, which created an environment with very few COVID cases [ 32 ]. Given the low risk of infection, the benefits of vaccination in terms of required protection were limited.…”

“…Given the low risk of infection, the benefits of vaccination in terms of required protection were limited. In addition, the severe quarantine measures implemented for the whole community did not distinguish between vaccinated and unvaccinated populations, further reducing the benefits of vaccination [ 32 ]. Therefore, vaccination would only bring about possible side effects without any benefits of COVID-19 protection.…”

“…Our research showed that good subjective health status was a protective factor against vaccination behavior, and ROC analysis showed that subjective health status was the best index to predict the effectiveness of vaccination behavior among all the factors, with significant differences between the vaccinated and nonvaccinated groups. Similar to suffering from chronic diseases, we believe that the negative impact of poor subjective health status on vaccination behavior is also caused by the reasons mentioned above, such as the widespread negative information about the vaccine among the population, the crowding-out effect of the ‘zero-COVID’ policy [ 32 ] and the vaccine rollout process in China [ 33 ]. On the other hand, people with poor psychological status are more likely to hesitate when facing the choice of vaccination.…”

Background The World Health Organization (WHO) proposed COVID-19 vaccination as an emergent and important method to end the COVID-19 pandemic. Since China started vaccination programs in December 2020, vaccination has spread to provinces and municipalities nationwide. Previous research has focused on people's vaccination willingness and its influencing factors but has not examined vaccination behavior. We examine the effectiveness of psychosocial factors in predicting vaccination behavior. Methods A cross-sectional online survey was performed among Chinese adults on 8 May and 4 June 2021. The statistical analysis of the data included univariate analysis, receiver operator characteristics (ROC) analysis and ordinal multiclassification logistic regression model analysis. Results Of the 1300 respondents, 761 (58.5%) were vaccinated. Univariate analysis showed that a high education level and good subjective health status were protective factors for vaccination behavior, while suffering from chronic diseases was a risk factor. ROC analysis showed that subjective health status (AUC = 0.625, 95% CI: 0.594–0.656, P < 0.001) was the best predictor of vaccination behavior. Logistic regression analysis with subjective health status as a dependent variable indicated that older age, female sex, depression, neurasthenia, obsession, hypochondriasis and chronic disease were significant risk factors, while positive coping tendencies were a significant protective factor. Conclusion Our study found a simple and effective marker, subjective health status, that can predict vaccination behavior. This finding can guide future epidemic prevention work.

“…COVID-19 is highly infectious, mutates during transmission, and increases in infectivity. At present, the main strain of COVID-19 is the delta strain discovered in India in October 2020 (1)(2)(3)(4). Delta is more transmissible than earlier strains of COVID-19 before it mutates, and it continues to mutate during its transmission.…”

Public health crises are challenging for governments and health systems, and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has presented huge challenges to humans worldwide. In the context of COVID-19 in China, we explore China's control strategies and challenges. Our analysis examines seven strategies: digital technology pandemic prevention, zero-case policy, all-staff nucleic acid testing, all-staff vaccinations, the long-term quarantine system, and the official accountability system. Additionally, it considers three challenges: repeated pandemic waves, increased downward pressure on the economy and social exhaustion. We identify the causes of these challenges, including social and natural factors, and the controls put in place. We contend that China's control strategies slowed the spread of the global pandemic and that Chinese vaccines have promoted global vaccine equity.
