“…Men are more likely to get vaccinated than women. Similar results are presented also in other studies with women being more reluctant to get vaccinated in comparison to men [17, 23]. Biological and lifestyle factors and immune response differs among men and women.…”

“…Due to their future profession, they have more knowledge about benefits of vaccines and are more awareness about their need. In a study that evaluated the attitude of population regarding future vaccination, half of them (49.7%) reported a positive willingness with students and healthcare personnel being more willingness in comparison to other occupational groups [17]. An Italian study among students concluded that 86.1% are willing to get vaccinated for COVID-19 [18] while a study in Malta among healthcare students reported acceptance rates at a level of 44.2% [19].…”

Experiencing the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic, high vaccination coverage by a safe and effective vaccine globally would be a great achievement. Acceptance of vaccination by healthcare students is an important issue as they have a key role as future professionals in educating patients, informing and guiding them to the right clinical decision. The aim of this study was to explore the intention of nursing students to get vaccinated for SARS-CoV-2 infection and the factors acting either as motivators or barriers towards vaccination. A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in 7 countries (Greece, Albania, Cyprus, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic and Kosovo) through a web survey. In total 2249 undergraduate nursing students participated. Forty three point eight percent of students agreed to accept a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine, while the acceptance was higher among Italian students. The factors for intention to get vaccinated were male gender (p=0.008), no working experience in healthcare facilities during the pandemic (p=0.001), vaccination for influenza in 2019 and 2020 (p<0.001), trust in doctors (p<0.001), governments and experts (p=0.012), high level of knowledge (p<0.001) and fear of COVID-19 (p<0.001). Understanding of factors that influence students’ decision to accept COVID-19 vaccination could increase the acceptance rate contributing to a management of the pandemic.HighlightsLess than half of the sample intended to accept COVID-19 vaccinationFactors that influenced nursing students to get vaccinated against COVID-19 were male gender, no working experience in healthcare facilities during the pandemic, vaccination for influenza in 2019 and 2020, trust in doctors, governments and experts, high level of knowledge and fear of COVID-19.

“…Our study also found that both medical staffs and non-medical staffs were willing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, Perhaps the severity of the epidemic, the high infectivity of the virus and the publicity of the role of the vaccine by the media are the driving factors for them to decide to vaccinate [16]. Inconsistent results were shown in previous studies from the Indonesia, Turkey or the United States concerning the impact of demographic characteristics on the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine [14,15,17,18], and we found that, among the residents, respondents aged 46 to 59 were more likely to accept vaccination, while respondents' income or medical insurance may not in uence their intention as shown in the results of logistic regression analysis. This shows that people aged 46 to 59 are strongly aware that vaccines provide not only personal protection, but also family protection.…”

Background The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) brought great disaster to the world. Vaccination for COVID-19 is one of the most important preventative measures to reduce the disease transmission. Our study aims to estimate residents’ willingness to accept COVID-19 vaccination and its influencing factors in the general adult population in Chinese community. Methods 3000 questionnaires were posted from December,2020 to January,2021 to residents in Kaifeng with 89.60% response rate. Results of the 2688 respondents on their willingness to accept the COVID-19 vaccine were analyzed. Results 89.06% of respondents were willing to accept a COVID-19 vaccine if vaccines were available. People who were 46–59 years old (OR = 0.311; 95% CI: 0.188–0.512), often live in the town (OR = 3.979; 95% CI: 2.473–6.402) and pay attention to the development of the COVID-19 vaccine (OR = 0.301; 95% CI: 0.203–0.447), and agreeing that the COVID-19 vaccine can prevent COVID-19 (OR = 0.106; 95% CI: 0.050–0.224) were significantly associated with their willingness to accept receive COVID-19 vaccination. Conclusion A high acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination had been shown among Chinese residents although it was not during the pandemic period, while concerns about vaccine safety and effectiveness might hinder the promotion of vaccine uptake.

“…Despite the public and private efforts, there is uncertainty regarding the number of vaccine courses available by the end of 2021 for many countries 22 ; in this context effective epidemic control can be achieved through a combination of preventive measures and gradual population vaccination 23 . On the other hand, vaccine hesitancy has been observed in different countries (USA 24 , Turkey 25 ,…), with undecided (∼30%) or refusing individuals (∼10%), and concern exists regarding their management. These percentages are not contradictory with reaching high percentages of immunity, and gradual vaccination campaigns can allow these individuals to make an informed decision.…”

2AbstractAs COVID-19 vaccine research efforts seem to be yielding the first tangible results, the proportion of individuals needed to reap the benefits of herd immunity is a key element from a Public Health programs perspective.This magnitude, termed the critical immunization threshold (q), can be obtained from the classical SIR model equilibrium equation, equaling (1 − 1/R0)/ ϵ, where R0 is the basic reproduction number and ϵ is the vaccine efficacy. When a significant proportion of the population is already immune, this becomes (n − 1/R0)/ ϵ, where n is the proportion of non-immune individuals. A similar equation can be obtained for short-term immunization thresholds(qt), which are dependent on Rt.qs for most countries are between 60-75% of the population. Current qt for most countries are between 20-40%.Therefore, the combination of gradual vaccination and other non-pharmaceutical interventions will mark the transition to the herd immunity, providing that the later turns out to be a feasible objective. Nevertheless, immunization through vaccination is a complex issue and many challenges might appear.
