“…Vaccination mandate policies are a controversial topic as they increase vaccination rates (Vaz et al, 2020) but also restrict people's freedom of choice (Maneze et al, 2023). Evidence against the use of mandates also comes from experimental studies that have shown that telling people that a hypothetical/fictitious vaccination is mandatory results in lower willingness to get vaccinated against other existing diseases (Betsch & Böhm, 2016; Sprengholz et al, 2022).…”

Anti‐science attitudes can be resilient to scientific evidence if they are rooted in psychological motives. One such motive is trait reactance, which refers to the need to react with opposition when one's freedom of choice has been threatened. In three studies, we investigated trait reactance as a psychological motivation to reject vaccination. In the longitudinal studies (n = 199; 293), we examined if trait reactance measured before the COVID‐19 pandemic was related to people's willingness to get vaccinated against COVID‐19 up to 2 years later during the pandemic. In the experimental study (n = 398), we tested whether trait reactance makes anti‐vaccination attitudes more resistant to information and whether this resistance can be mitigated by framing the information to minimize the risk of triggering state reactance. The longitudinal studies showed that higher trait reactance before the COVID‐19 pandemic was related to lower willingness to get vaccinated against COVID‐19. Our experimental study indicated that highly reactant individuals' willingness to vaccinate was unaffected by the amount and framing of the information provided. Trait reactance has a strong and durable impact on vaccination willingness. This highlights the importance of considering the role of trait reactance in people's vaccination‐related decision‐making.

“…For instance, Paudel et al (2021) [20] sampled 266 Nepalese HCWs with an acceptance rate of 38.3%, Awaidy et al (2022) [21] sampled 608 Omani HCWs with an acceptance rate of 43%, Jose et al (2022) [16] sampled 403 India HCWs with an acceptance rate of 54.6%, while Li et al (2021) [18] reported a vaccine acceptance rate of 93.9% in a nationally representative sample of Chinese HCWs. These variations may be attributed to the national mandate to vaccinate HCWs in some countries [39]. For instance, vaccination against COVID-19 has been compulsory for all people employed at hospitals in China since the first quarter of 2021 [40], while countries like India prioritized but did not mandate the vaccination of HCWs [41].…”

“…These vaccine refusal and acceptance predictors may be directly related to COVID-19-related disinformation. As Al-Amer et al ( 2022) [39] noted, myths, rumors, and false beliefs on vaccines peddled by anti-vaccine individuals and media, especially social media, threatened vaccination uptake. Similarly, Jin et al (2021) [55] supported that the beliefs in conspiracy theories circulated in the media by vaccine-averse individuals regarding the vaccine's side effects significantly influenced people's decision to vaccinate.…”

BackgroundThe availability of an effective vaccine does not equate to its use; its effectiveness primarily depends on vaccine acceptance by the targeted population. Despite the rapid development and widespread access to the COVID-19 vaccine, herd immunity is yet to be achieved, with vaccine hesitancy as a major barrier. This study sought to systematically assess the beliefs, attitudes, and acceptance towards COVID-19 vaccines, including factors contributing to vaccination hesitancy in the Eastern and Western hemispheres.MethodsA comprehensive search of articles was conducted through Scopus, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Web of Science databases for studies published from inception to May 2023 using the PRISMA guidelines.ResultsOur search yielded 1154, of which 21 were eligible for inclusion. The rate of willingness or intention to vaccinate varied with the geographic region, from 12% in the USA to 93.9% in China. Four studies from the Western and two from Eastern regions reported a low acceptance rate (defined as <50%): USA (12%), Spain (48.3%), Switzerland (38.6%), Europe (multi-national, 31%), Nepal (38.3%), and Oman (43%). Overall, vaccine acceptance was low-to-moderate in the general population and healthcare workers (HCWs) in both Eastern and Western hemispheres except for China which reported high acceptance (defined as >75%) among the general population and HCWs. Demographic characteristics (female, younger age, and higher education) and non-demographic factors (knowledge about the COVID-19 vaccine and its development, history of influenza vaccination, perceived susceptibility or severity of infection, and the belief that vaccines are effective in controlling the pandemic were associate with high acceptance rates or intentions to take the COVID-19 vaccine. On the other hand, mistrust of the vaccine, its safety and effectiveness, disinformation or poor awareness of the vaccine, side effects concerns, belief in natural immunity, previous adverse experience with the vaccines, and distrust in the information sources about the COVID-19 pandemic were associated with vaccination hesitancy.ConclusionFor better acceptance, COVID-19 vaccination campaign strategies should be modeled based on regional political, economic, and social contexts.HighlightsThe willingness to accept COVID-19 vaccines was low-to-moderate in both hemispheres.Healthcare workers were as willing to vaccinate as the general population.Vaccine hesitancy was associated with demographic and vaccine-specific factors.
