于二零二零年十二月，首批COVID-19疫苗获批。尽管报告的病例超过8500万例，已知死亡人数超过180万，但全球仍有数百万人表示他们可能不接受疫苗。这项研究评估了年龄、性别和教育水平与疫苗接受程度的关系，研究对象是2020年6月从19个COVID-19高负担国家随机抽取的13，426名参与者。基于单变量和多变量逻辑回归，出现了几个值得注意的趋势：法国、德国、俄罗斯和瑞典的女性接受疫苗的可能性明显高于这些国家的男性。加拿大、波兰、法国、德国、瑞典和英国的老年人（>= 50岁）比年轻受访者更倾向于接种疫苗，但中国的趋势相反。在厄瓜多尔、法国、德国、印度和美国，受过高等教育的人报告说他们会接受疫苗，但在加拿大、西班牙和英国，受教育程度较高的人接受疫苗接种的程度较低。在比较巴西、厄瓜多尔、法国、印度、意大利、墨西哥、波兰、俄罗斯、南非、韩国、瑞典和美国的答复时，受访者在接受雇主推荐的疫苗的意愿方面的人口统计学因素的异质性是很大的。这些信息应有助于公共卫生当局更有效地针对疫苗推广信息。
In December 2020, the first COVID-19 vaccines were approved. Despite more than 85 million reported cases and 1.8 million known deaths, millions worldwide say they may not accept it. This study assesses the associations of age, gender, and level of education with vaccine acceptance, from a random sample of 13,426 participants selected from 19 high-COVID-19 burden countries in June 2020. Based on univariable and multivariable logistic regression, several noteworthy trends emerged: women in France, Germany, Russia, and Sweden were significantly more likely to accept a vaccine than men in these countries. Older (>= 50) people in Canada, Poland, France, Germany, Sweden, and the UK were significantly more favorably disposed to vaccination than younger respondents, but the reverse trend held in China. Highly educated individuals in Ecuador, France, Germany, India, and the US reported that they will accept a vaccine, but higher education levels were associated with lower vaccination acceptance in Canada, Spain, and the UK. Heterogeneity by demographic factors in the respondents' willingness to accept a vaccine if recommended by employers were substantial when comparing responses from Brazil, Ecuador, France, India, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, and the US. This information should help public health authorities target vaccine promotion messages more effectively.
