“…It caused an unprecedented crisis for global public health and enormous disease burden while severely disrupting societies and economies. Since actions such as compulsory mask wearing, lockdowns and social distancing have exhausted the world from the beginning of the pandemic, effective COVID-19 vaccine is the most powerful way to curb the disease [2,3]. Vaccination was recognized as one of the most successful public health measures, and have contributed to the decline in mortality and morbidity of various infectious diseases [4].…”

Background COVID-19 vaccine has been available in China since the beginning of the 2021, however, certain numbers of people are reluctant for some reasons to vaccinate. The high vaccine coverage is crucial for controlling disease transmission, however, the vaccine hesitancy might be a barrier to the establishment of sufficient herd immunization. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among different population groups, and explore common barriers and facilitators to vaccination decisions. Methods The current survey was performed among Chinese students, public health professionals, medical workers and general population from January to March 2021 from seven cities in China. The questionnaire contained sociodemographic information, concerns about infection with COVID-19, general vaccination behaviors and attitudes, the General Vaccine Hesitancy Scale, the COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Scale and other potential factors. Univariate analysis was conducted by chi-squared test, and variables significant at P < 0.10 were then included in a multivariable regression model. Results The prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy was 15.6% in our study, and 23.9% of students, 21.2% of the general population, 13.1% of medical workers, and 10.4% of public health professionals had vaccine hesitancy. The results of multivariate analysis indicated that participants who had received negative information of COVID-19 vaccine (OR: 1.563, 95% CI: 1.229–1.986) and who had doubts about the information source (OR: 2.157, 95% CI: 1.697–2.742) were more likely to have vaccine hesitancy. While those who needed transparent information about COVID-19 vaccine (OR: 0.722, 95% CI: 0.535–0.973) and who would get COVID-19 vaccine if doctors recommended (OR: 0.176, 95% CI: 0.132–0.234) were less likely to have COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Conclusions Given recommendations from medical workers about vaccination can motivate people to accept COVID-19 vaccination, appropriate training in knowledge about vaccines and communication skills are necessary for them to increase public’s willingness of vaccination. Reducing the spread of misinformation and disseminating facts in a timely and accurate way will likely reduce vaccine hesitancy. Moreover, to establish suitable communication strategies and information exchange platforms between the government and the public and a warning system on infodemic would be helpful to improve public’s confidence in vaccination.

“…The knowledge instrument has 10 question items modified from the research of Mohamed et al (2021) and Hammour et al (2021). The perception instrument refers to the research of Mohamed et al (2021) which modifies the Health Belief Model (HBM) measurement tool and the research of Ansari-moghaddam et al (2021). The vaccination perception instrument is divided into 4 dimensions, namely perceived susceptibilities, perceived severity, perceived barriers, and perceived benefits with a total of 13 statement items.…”

The vaccination program has become the most anticipated intervention in minimizing the spread of COVID-19, including in Indonesia. Individual motivation to receive COVID-19 vaccination is believed to be one of the important predictors of achieving national vaccination targets. This study aims to analyze the differences, relationships, and the effect of knowledge and perceptions toward motivation to receive the COVID-19 vaccine among generations. This study used an explanatory design and voluntary sampling method with 201 respondents from generations X, Y, and Z. This study showed a significant difference in knowledge, perception, and motivation between generations. More than half of the respondents had a moderate knowledge of vaccination. Moreover, Generation X and Generation Y respondents were more likely to have poor perceptions regarding COVID-19 vaccination and lack motivation to receive the vaccine. Meanwhile, generation Z recorded a moderate level of perception and motivation regarding vaccination. The results also showed that there was a significant correlation between respondent characteristics and knowledge and perception. The regression test results showed that family income, number of dependents, ethnicity, vaccination status, and perceptions related to vaccination significantly affected motivation to vaccinate COVID-19.

Foodborne diseases are mostly caused by poor food safety behavior of food handlers. Bad behavior is formed in food handlers who believe that food safety is not an important thing to do. According to the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT), someone will take action if the more serious they feel the negative impact of a threat. Fear can motivate people to change their behavior and seek other forms of coping when they believe that they are threatened and that changing their behavior will make a difference to the outcome.This study aims to predict the behavioural intention of food safety using PMT. As many as 80 food handlers from all culinary stalls on beach tourism of Bantul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, were interviewed face to face using a printed questionnaire regarding threats, coping, and intentions in food safety behavior. Data were evaluated using Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) Version 3.0. PMT can predict 64.8% of the variance of food safety behavioural intentions (R 2 adjusted = 0.648). Coping is the strongest predictor variable that has a significant positive effect on food safety behavioural intentions (β = 0.508, p = 0.000 < 0.05), followed by the threat variable which also has a significant positive effect (β = 0.352, p = 0.000 < 0.05).
