“…Vaccine hesitancy is a growing public health concern in the United States and worldwide [ 1 ]. The World Health Organization (WHO) lists vaccine hesitancy as one of the top ten threats to global health and defines it as a delay in vaccination or a lack of acceptance of vaccines [ 2 , 3 ].…”

(1) Background: Following the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine hesitancy has become an increasingly important topic and has created significant concerns in public health. It is important to explore vaccine hesitancy among college students as they have been identified to be a high-risk group for COVID-19 transmission. This study aims to investigate COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in college students on a midsized midwestern university campus. (2) Methods: Data were collected from 311 undergraduate and graduate college students during June and July 2021. Participants completed a survey on COVID-19 vaccine behaviors, perceptions, and opinions. Quantitative and qualitative analysis was performed to identify vaccine hesitancy and influencing factors in the student population. (3) Results: The results of this study demonstrated significant relationships between older and younger undergraduate students (OR > 1, p < 0.05), students who received a yearly influenza vaccine and those that did not (p < 0.05), and students who had a previous COVID-19 infection and those that did not (OR > 1, p < 0.05). We also determined a significant difference between some racial/ethnic groups and vaccine hesitancy status. (4) Conclusions: COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy exists on college campuses, and is influenced by age and student status, influenza vaccination status, previous COVID-19 infection, and race/ethnicity.

“…Adverse events can impact an individual’s vaccine experience or beliefs. Although most adverse events are coincidental, people believe they are related since they happen so close to receiving vaccinations [ 1 ]. Lacking trust in the physician can occur for various reasons and can add to vaccine hesitancy.…”

A taxonomy of anti-vaccination arguments from a systematic literature review and text modelling

et al. 2023

The proliferation of anti-vaccination arguments is a threat to the success of many immunisation programmes. Effective rebuttal of contrarian arguments requires an approach that goes beyond addressing flaws in the arguments, by also considering the attitude roots-that is, the underlying psychological attributes driving a person's belief-of opposition to vaccines. Through a preregistered systematic literature review of 152 scientific articles and thematic analysis of anti-vaccination arguments, we developed a hierarchical taxonomy that relates common arguments and themes to 11 attitude roots that explain why an individual might express opposition to vaccination. We further validated our taxonomy on COVID-19 anti-vaccination misinformation, through a combination of human coding and machine learning using natural language processing algorithms. Overall, the taxonomy serves as a theoretical framework to link expressed opposition of vaccines to their underlying psychological processes. This enables future work to develop targeted rebuttals and other interventions that address the underlying motives of anti-vaccination arguments.
