识别和了解不同人群中新冠肺炎疫苗的迟疑可能有助于未来的公共卫生宣传。使用爱尔兰(N = 1041)和英国(N = 2025)普通成人人口的具有全国代表性的数据，我们发现这些人口中分别有35%和31%的人对疫苗存在明显的犹豫/抗药性。在爱尔兰和英国，对疫苗犹豫不决/抗拒的受访者在许多与社会人口和健康相关的变量上存在差异，但在广泛的心理结构上是相似的。在这两个人群中，对新冠肺炎疫苗具有抗药性的人从传统和权威来源获得大流行信息的可能性较小，与接受疫苗的受访者相比，他们对这些来源的不信任程度相似。鉴于研究人群的地理位置接近和社会经济相似，不可能将研究结果推广到其他人群，然而，这里采用的方法可能对那些希望了解其他地方新冠肺炎疫苗迟疑的人有用。对疫苗接种的犹豫不决和抵抗是对公共卫生的挑战。在这里，作者确定了与英国和爱尔兰新冠肺炎疫苗犹豫不决或抵抗态度有关的心理特征。
Identifying and understanding COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy within distinct populations may aid future public health messaging. Using nationally representative data from the general adult populations of Ireland (N = 1041) and the United Kingdom (UK; N = 2025), we found that vaccine hesitancy/resistance was evident for 35% and 31% of these populations respectively. Vaccine hesitant/resistant respondents in Ireland and the UK differed on a number of sociodemographic and health-related variables but were similar across a broad array of psychological constructs. In both populations, those resistant to a COVID-19 vaccine were less likely to obtain information about the pandemic from traditional and authoritative sources and had similar levels of mistrust in these sources compared to vaccine accepting respondents. Given the geographical proximity and socio-economic similarity of the populations studied, it is not possible to generalize findings to other populations, however, the methodology employed here may be useful to those wishing to understand COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy elsewhere. Hesitancy and resistance towards vaccination is a challenge for public health. Here the authors determine psychological characteristics associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy or resistance attitudes in the UK and Ireland.
