Description

Muhammad Ittefaq and co-authors analyze opinion polls about COVID-19 vaccines in this 2024 study. The team coded more than fourteen hundred questions from nineteen surveys taken between early 2020 and mid 2022. They sorted the questions by topic, from news sources to reasons for getting or refusing the shot.

Refusal stayed common through the pandemic, tied mostly to fears about the fast pace of vaccine work and safety risks. People who did get shots cited doctors, family, and leaders as motives. Mandates did not greatly raise uptake among the doubtful. The authors use three theory frames to explain the patterns and offer advice for health campaigns.
