在日本，年轻一代对COVID-19疫苗的犹豫在疫苗接种的早期阶段受到了极大的关注。然而，日本缺乏一项全面的研究，分析人们对第三剂疫苗（通常称为加强剂）的担忧及其根本原因。利用广岛大学广岛卫生经济研究所进行的在线小组调查的数据，我们研究了不同年龄段的年轻人对加强剂量厌恶的严重程度。我们的研究结果表明，相当大比例的日本人口，特别是年轻男性，对接受加强剂量犹豫不决。此外，仅在男子中存在对加强剂量厌恶的年龄组间差异。根据概率单位回归结果，主观健康状况和未来焦虑与各年龄组男性和女性的加强疫苗犹豫有关。此外，一些社会经济和行为因素，如婚姻状况，有孩子，家庭收入和资产，以及对未来的短视看法，也与某些年龄段的青少年对加强剂量的厌恶有关。鉴于年轻一代的不同态度，我们的研究结果表明，公共卫生当局应制定有效的沟通策略，以减少社会上的疫苗恐惧。
The younger generation’s hesitancy towards the COVID-19 vaccine in Japan received significant attention during the early stages of vaccination. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive study in Japan that analyzes the apprehension towards the third dose of vaccine, commonly known as the booster dose, and its underlying causes. Using data from an online panel survey conducted by the Hiroshima Institute of Health Economics Research at Hiroshima University, we examined the severity of booster dose aversion among youths of different ages. Our findings indicate that a sizeable proportion of the Japanese population, particularly younger men, are hesitant to receive the booster dose. Furthermore, an inter-age group difference in booster dose aversion exists only among men. According to the probit regression results, subjective health status and future anxiety are associated with the booster vaccine hesitancy of men and women of various age groups. Moreover, few socioeconomic and behavioral factors like marital status, having children, household income and assets, and having a myopic view of the future, are also associated with the booster dose aversion among youths of certain ages. Given the diverse attitude of the younger generation, our findings suggest that public health authorities should develop effective communication strategies to reduce vaccine apprehension in the society.
