“…A third type, ‘bonding’ social capital, refers to relations within groups or among relatively homogenous people. Higher levels of bonding social capital may crowd out a community’s ability to connect or sympathise with other groups, sapping reservoirs of bridging social ties and making vertical connections also less likely 23. In one sense, there is a zero-sum game with social resources, with communities typically unable to have high levels of multiple types of social capital 24…”

“…In contrast, people with more faith in Trump perceived fewer threats from the virus (Graham et al., 2020; Shao & Hao, 2021). Political beliefs can also shape one's vaccination decision with elite cues and different media coverages further enlarge the gap (Dolman et al., 2022; Pink et al., 2021; Zhang et al., 2022). Democrats (Fridman et al., 2021), people with liberal political ideology (Scheitle & Corcoran, 2021), and those exposed to liberal media outlets (Romer & Jamieson, 2021) have less skepticism about the vaccine than their counterparts.…”

This study aims to estimate the pediatric COVID‐19 vaccine uptake and the impact of social network and Biden approval. A national survey was conducted by Qualtrics from September 26 to 19 October 2022, and respondents who identified as primary guardians of children under 18 are included in this study. Findings show that parents are more likely to vaccinate children between 12 and 17 than children between 5 and 11 or below 5. The means of measures for social network and Biden approval for parents who have vaccinated children across different age groups are significantly higher than the corresponding means for parents whose children remain unvaccinated. Structural equation modeling results suggest the social network and Biden approval positively affect parents' decision to vaccinate children. The former predictor also mediates the latter on the outcome measure. The findings are significant when analyzing the sample of parents with children over five. These findings contribute to the literature and have policy implications for leveraging interventions and optimizing vaccination for children.

“…Our paper contributes to a growing literature connecting social norms to individual behavior, such as vaccination decisions or the observance of measures against the spread of infectious diseases (e.g., Agranov et al, 2021;Bargain & Aminjonov, 2020;Barrios et al, 2021;Bartscher et al, 2021;Ferwana & Varshney, 2021;Jung et al, 2013;Qiao et al, 2022;Reich, 2020;Zhang et al, 2022). Similarly to the act of contributing to a public good, the individual decision to get vaccinated contributes to the creation of herd immunity, which makes possible to protect the whole population from the disease, including those who cannot be vaccinated like newborns or those with compromised immune systems.…”

The role of civic capital on vaccination

2023

Can civic‐minded individuals fight against a pandemic? In this paper, we show that civic capital plays an important role when assessing the level of compliance with COVID‐19 vaccination recommendations. Analyzing data on a large sample of municipalities from the Italian region of Lombardy, we show that the share of vaccinated individuals is significantly higher in municipalities with higher pre‐determined levels of civic capital. These findings are robust to the possibility of spatial spillovers across neighboring municipalities. Our findings contribute to the existing evidence highlighting the importance of individual contributions and civic capital as important behavioral determinants affecting the containment of infectious diseases.
