“…Finally, the data obtained suggest that the current COVID-19 pandemic may have impacted willingness to receive the 2020/21 influenza vaccine among people that had not received the previous 2019/20 season vaccine. This result is in line with the aforementioned online survey by Goldman et al [ 28 ]. According to the regional tender allotments, the 2020/21 influenza season will see a significant increase in the procurement of vaccines, which is also linked to the mandatory recommendation for influenza vaccination in some at-risk groups in different Italian regions [ 19 , 20 , 21 ].…”

“…The results obtained in the present study have several similar traits to a recent online survey conducted across six countries (United States, Canada, Israel, Japan, Spain and Switzerland) among caregivers of children aged 1-19 years [28]. The authors highlighted that the main predictors able to modify the decision-making process of caregivers regarding the vaccination of children for the next season were the perception of risk that the child will get COVID-19, the child's vaccination status, and the caregiver's influenza vaccination history [28].…”

The last 2019/20 northern hemisphere influenza season overlapped with the first wave of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Italy was the first western country where severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread to a significant extent. In this representative cross-sectional survey, we aimed to describe some opinions and attitudes of the Italian general population towards both influenza vaccination and the COVID-19 pandemic, and to identify potential modifiers of the decision-making process regarding the uptake of the 2020/21 influenza vaccine. A total of 2543 responses were analyzed. Although most (74.8%) participants valued influenza vaccination positively and declared that it should be mandatory, some misconceptions around influenza persist. The general practitioner was the main source of trusted information on influenza vaccines, while social networks were judged to be the least reliable. Younger and less affluent individuals, subjects not vaccinated in the previous season, and those living in smaller communities showed lower odds of receiving the 2020/21 season influenza vaccination. However, the COVID-19 pandemic may have positively influenced the propensity of being vaccinated against 2020/21 seasonal influenza. In order to increase influenza vaccination coverage rates multidisciplinary targeted interventions are needed. The role of general practitioners remains crucial in increasing influenza vaccine awareness and acceptance by effective counselling.

“…Only few recent studies showed a change in terms of intention to accept seasonal influenza vaccination during the 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic among nurses in Hong Kong, China [29]. Moreover, a study conducted in 17 pediatric emergency departments in 6 countries demonstrated an increase of 15.8% in the number of caregivers who stated they plan to vaccinate their children against influenza, relative to the previous year [31]. The findings of the present study show that the COVID-19 pandemic may have influenced intentions to receive the seasonal influenza vaccinated in the general public.…”

BackgroundA novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March, 2020. Until such time as a vaccine becomes available, it is important to identify the determining factors that influence the intention of the general public to accept a future COVID-19 vaccine. Consequently, we aim to explore behavioral-related factors predicting intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine among the general population using the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) model.MethodsAn online survey was conducted among adults aged 18 years and older from May 24 to June 24, 2020. The survey included socio-demographic and health-related questions, questions related to the HBM and TPB dimensions, and intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine. Associations between questionnaire variables and COVID-19 vaccination intention were assessed by univariate and multivariate analyses.ResultsEighty percent of 398 eligible respondents stated their willingness to receive COVID-19 vaccine. A unified model including HBM and TPB covariates as well as demographic and health-related factors, proved to be a powerful predictor of intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine, explaining 78% of the variance (adjusted R2 = 0.78). Men (OR=4.35, 95% CI 1.58–11.93), educated respondents (OR=3.54, 95% CI 1.44–8.67) and respondents who had received the seasonal influenza vaccine in the previous year (OR=3.31, 95% CI 1.22–9.00) stated higher intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine. Participants were more likely to be willing to get vaccinated if they reported higher levels of perceived benefits of COVID-19 vaccine (OR=4.49, 95% CI 2.79–7.22), of perceived severity of COVID-19 infection (OR=2.36, 95% CI 1.58–3.51) and of cues to action (OR=1.99, 95% CI 1.38–2.87), according to HBM, and if they reported higher levels of subjective norms (OR=3.04, 95% CI 2.15–4.30) and self-efficacy (OR=2.05, 95% CI 1.54–2.72) according to TPB. Although half of the respondents reported they had not received influenza vaccine last year, 40% of them intended to receive influenza vaccine in the coming winter and 66% of them intended to receive COVID-19 vaccine.ConclusionsProviding data on the public perspective and predicting intention for COVID-19 vaccination using HBM and TPB is important for health policy makers and healthcare providers and can help better guide compliance as the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available to the public.

“…Comparatively, factors associated with willingness to have one's child vaccinated have seldom been studied in the context of a pandemic. Few studies have examined parental intention to have their child vaccinated against in uenza during the COVID-19 pandemic (20,21). Recent studies by Goldman et al based on cross-sectional surveys showed that less than 50% of parents would be willing to have their child vaccinated against COVID-19 (18).…”

Objective. Vaccination will be instrumental in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic, and vaccination of children will be necessary to achieve herd immunity. Given that children with chronic health conditions may be at increased risk of COVID-19, it is crucial to understand factors in uencing parental decisions about whether to have their child vaccinated. The study objectives were to measure parental intent to have their child with asthma vaccinated against COVID-19 and identify the determinants of their vaccination decision. Study design. This study is based on a cross-sectional exploratory observational online survey assessing parents' risk perception in the context of COVID-19. Methods. In this study conducted in August 2020, the primary outcome was parent's answer to the question on their intention to get their child vaccinated if a vaccine against COVID-19 was available. Participants were also asked about their intention to get vaccinated themselves. Independent variables studied included sociodemographic, clinical data (e.g. presence of other chronic diseases), psychological, cognitive and
