“…Only 45% of citizens in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OCED) countries said they trust their government in 2019. 2 Distrust in politicians has been inconsistently associated with vaccine hesitancy, largely in Western countries [18,19]. A recent poll found that 78% of respondents in the United States fear that the process for a COVID-19 vaccine approval has been more influenced by politics than science [20].…”

Objectives: An effective vaccine to SARS-CoV-2 cannot be successfully deployed if a significant number of people worldwide are unwilling to accept it. We investigated the relationship between trust in scientists and medical professionals and perceptions of vaccine safety and effectiveness. We also build on past studies by exploring the relationship between confidence in global health organizations and vaccine hesitancy.Methods: We conducted an online survey in seventeen countries/territories across five world regions between May -June 2020. We assessed the relationship between COVID19 vaccine hesitancy, confidence in public health organizations, and trust in key experts and leaders.Results: Our findings strongly suggest that confidence in the World Health Organization combined with trust in domestic scientists and healthcare professionals is a strong driver of vaccine acceptance across multiple countries/territories.Conclusion: We find that hesitancy is widespread, and uptake would be insufficient to achieve herd immunity. There is widespread confidence in how public health organizations have responded to the current pandemic and this is related to vaccine acceptance. Our results also highlight the important role of trust in health care providers and scientists in reducing COVID19 vaccine hesitancy.

“…23.67% of the respondents consider the pandemic as moderately dangerous, and 14.09% of the respondents consider it as slightly dangerous. Given the community outbreak and risk of contracting the virus at public places of engagement, 45.97% of the respondents indicated that they would prefer to visit retail shops amid the COVID19 pandemic, 42.40% would prefer to visit health care facilities, and 40.44% of the respondents would visit places of employment [1][2]17].…”

With the onset of the COVID19 pandemic, information technology has played a critical role in healthcare. A broad spectrum of information technology tools and applications played an essential role to create awareness of the COVID19 vaccination drive and its health benefits. We use the COVID-19 Global Beliefs, Behaviors, and Norms Survey for analysis of prevalence and factors associated with vaccination drives among men and women aged 20-80 years in 60 countries worldwide. Our analysis of the global survey offers a unique perspective about the role of information technology associated with vaccination drives involving social norms and human behavior among 437,236 respondents. The international survey was organized using a pre-registered randomized experiment demonstrating the role of technology in reaching out to people based in diverse communities and evaluating their beliefs, behavior, and social norms. The study shows that vaccine acceptance can vary due to descriptive norms. Our analysis shows 65.06% of people all over the globe are willing to get vaccinated and a large proportion of the population thinks that the COVID19 pandemic is a viable threat to the community and preventive measures need to be taken including vaccination drives.

“…With authorized vaccines becoming more available, public willingness to vaccinate stands as a key obstacle to achieving a high vaccination rate [1,2]. While national and regional approaches to increase vaccine acceptance are essential, primary care physicians are destined to play a major role in engaging and informing their communities with the aim of gaining public trust and uptake of the COVID-19 vaccines [3,4].…”

“…The large-majority of data concerning COVID-19 vaccine uptake has been aggregated from hypothetical vaccine uptake surveys [3,5,6] and while rollout of vaccines has begun worldwide, data on vaccine uptake among different populations remains limited. The initial rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in Israel was characterized by a relatively high vaccine uptake and efficiency in vaccine administration.…”

Primary Care Interventions to Address COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Among Israel Defense Forces Soldiers

Vaccine hesitancy is an obstacle to achieving high vaccination rates for COVID-19. Current knowledge on vaccine uptake is mostly based on hypothetical intention to vaccinate surveys. We compared intention to vaccinate and real-world vaccine uptake among 511 soldiers in a military unit during an unrestricted, on-site COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Soldiers were offered group lectures, on-site consultations and primary care office visits, discussing concerns on vaccination with a primary care physician. Overall, 359 (70.3%) soldiers participated in the group lectures, 33 (6.5%) in on-site consultations and 19 (3.7%) attended primary care visits. Overall, 459 (89.8%) of 511 soldiers vaccinated for COVID-19. Of the 90 soldiers initially refusing, 38 (42.2%) had agreed to receive a vaccine. On-site COVID-19 vaccine rollout joined with primary care communication interventions may maximize vaccine uptake within a young-adult community. Future studies should evaluate the effectiveness of these efforts across different populations in a controlled and comparative manner.
