“…Cues to action include information, people, and events that nudge the individual towards vaccination. The HBM has been adopted as a conceptual framework that has been used to evaluate the beliefs and attitudes toward a diversity of vaccines including the influenza, human papillomavirus, and hepatitis B vaccines ( Teitler-Regev, Shahrabani & Benzion, 2011 ; Donadiki et al, 2014 ; Hu et al, 2017 ; Chen et al, 2019 ). Moreover, several studies have shown that the HBM constructs can serve as an important predictor of influenza vaccination uptake ( Brewer et al, 2007 ; Shahrabani, Benzion & Yom Din, 2009 ; Shahrabani & Benzion, 2010 ; Tsutsui, Benzion & Shahrabani, 2012 ).…”

To mitigate the unprecedented health, social, and economic damage of COVID-19, the Philippines is undertaking a nationwide vaccination program to mitigate the effects of the global pandemic. In this study, we interrogated COVID-19 vaccine intent in the country by deploying a nationwide open-access online survey, two months before the rollout of the national vaccination program. The Health Belief Model (HBM) posits that people are likely to adopt disease prevention behaviors and to accept medical interventions like vaccines if there is sufficient motivation and cues to action. A majority of our 7,193 respondents (62.5%) indicated that they were willing to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Moreover, multivariable analysis revealed that HBM constructs were associated with vaccination intention in the Philippines. Perceptions of high susceptibility, high severity, and significant benefits were all good predictors for vaccination intent. We also found that external cues to action were important. Large majorities of our respondents would only receive the COVID-19 vaccines after many others had received it (72.8%) or after politicians had received it (68.2%). Finally, our study revealed that most (21%) were willing to pay an amount of PHP 1,000 (USD20) for the COVID-19 vaccines with an average willing-to-pay amount of PHP1,892 (USD38).

“…The health belief model (HBM) is a model constructed based on the assumption that people are likely to take disease prevention behaviors and interventions (e.g., vaccination) if there is sufficient motivation (e.g., the perception that they are susceptible to the disease, the disease is severe, the behavior is beneficial, and barriers are minimal) and cues to action (e.g., recommendations from family members and healthcare workers) (26). It has been adopted as a conceptual framework that was widely used to evaluate the beliefs and attitudes toward vaccines (e.g., influenza vaccines, COVID-19 vaccines, human papillomavirus vaccines, and hepatitis B vaccines) and explain and predict vaccination behaviors (17,(27)(28)(29).…”

Comparison of Vaccine Acceptance Between COVID-19 and Seasonal Influenza Among Women in China: A National Online Survey Based on Health Belief Model

Background: Influenza could circulate in parallel with COVID-19. Studies focusing on the comparison of vaccine acceptance between COVID-19 and seasonal influenza are lacking. The aim of the study was to assess and compare vaccine acceptance of COVID-19 and influenza among reproductive women in China, in order to better understand and address factors associated with vaccine acceptance and to provide guidance for targeted measures to promote vaccination.Methods: A national anonymous cross-sectional survey on COVID-19 and influenza vaccine acceptance among reproductive women aged 18–49 years in China was conducted online based on health belief model, a model widely used to evaluate health beliefs. Sociodemographic characteristics, health status, knowledge, attitude, and health beliefs related to COVID-19 and influenza infection and vaccination were retrieved. Pearson's χ2 test was used to compare the vaccine acceptance by the factors mentioned above. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the adjusted associations of factors related to vaccine acceptance. Paired t-test was used to compare scores of health beliefs between influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations.Results: COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rate among reproductive women was 90.3% (95% CI 89.2–91.3%), which was significantly higher than influenza vaccine acceptance rate (85.5%, 95% CI: 84.2–86.7%). Influenza and COVID-19 vaccine acceptance both had the trends to decrease with age (all p < 0.05). Living in the western region, young age, a high level of knowledge scores on disease and vaccines, a high level of perceived susceptibility, a high level of cues to action, and a low level of perceived barriers were positively associated with both COVID-19 and influenza vaccine acceptance (all p < 0.05), while influenza vaccination history was additionally associated with influenza vaccine acceptance (p < 0.05).Conclusions: Our findings suggest that tailored public health measures are needed to improve reproductive women's knowledge of COVID-19, influenza, and vaccines to alleviate women's vaccine hesitancy and expand vaccine uptake.

Human history is replete with pandemics caused by virulent diseases that have produced overwhelming suffering and death. Our future will require swift, sensible, and near-universal vaccine response as viruses evolve and thrive. When viruses like COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 emerge and mutate, vaccine researchers must be nimble and responsive to quickly develop effective vaccines. However, averting a preventable disease and consequent pandemic also requires the participation of all members of society, and there remain a considerable number of individuals who refuse to accept vaccination as a safe and effective prophylaxis. This refusal stems from deeply rooted fears and values and is further reinforced by antivaccination propaganda circulating the internet and media. By considering the psychological underpinnings of antivaccination attitudes, vaccination advocates, scientists, and policy makers can adapt and target their vaccination campaigns to appeal to those with doubts and concerns about vaccines. Schools serve an important role in promoting and mandating vaccinations to help prevent disease, and vaccinations are vital in school settings where densely populated classrooms facilitate the propagation of disease. School administrators and school nurses have important roles in establishing vaccination requirements and ensuring compliance, and school psychologists and mental health staff can help address vaccination concerns, doubts, and fears among school staff, parents, and students. It is vital that scientists, health care providers, and school staff work collaboratively to communicate with families and children about vaccination and counter antivaccination narratives with emotionally compelling stories that promote vaccine uptake and prevent disease outbreaks. Impact and ImplicationsThis review examines the resurgence of cases of preventable diseases (i.e., measles, pertussis, influenza, and coronavirus disease ) due to vaccination refusal, thus leading to disease outbreak. The psychological underpinnings of vaccine refusal are explored to better understand the thoughts and feelings of individuals who refuse to vaccinate themselves and/or their children. Schools are challenged with preventing and managing disease outbreaks, and school psychologists, school nurses, and administrators can better address vaccine hesitancy and refusal by understanding the concerns and fears that underlie the reluctance.
