许多因素与疫苗接种意向有关。然而，尚未充分研究接种2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫苗意愿决定因素的性别差异。本研究调查了日本劳动年龄人口中COVID-19疫苗接种意愿决定因素的性别差异。我们于2020年12月使用在线自填问卷对20-65岁的日本公民进行了横断面研究。进行Logistic回归分析。在27，036名参与者（13，814名男性和13，222名女性）中，女性愿意接种COVID-19疫苗的比例低于男性（33.0%对41.8%）。年龄和教育水平显示了性别差异与接种COVID-19疫苗意愿的关系：年龄较大或教育水平较高的男性更愿意接种疫苗，而30-49岁的女性和教育水平较高的女性接种疫苗的意愿相对较低。对于男性和女性来说，婚姻、较高的家庭年收入、基础疾病、当前吸烟、在当前季节接种流感疫苗以及对COVID-19传播的恐惧与愿意接种COVID-19疫苗的可能性较高有关。这些发现为确定需要对COVID-19疫苗接种进行干预的目标群体提供了重要见解，尤其是女性。在工作场所提供有关COVID-19和流感疫苗接种的教育可能是增加COVID-19疫苗接种的有效策略。
Many factors are related to vaccination intentions. However, gender differences in the determinants of intention to get the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine have not been fully investigated. This study examined gender differences in the determinants of willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine among the working-age population in Japan. We conducted a cross-sectional study of Japanese citizens aged 20-65 years using an online self-administered questionnaire in December 2020. Logistic regression analysis was performed. Among 27,036 participants (13,814 men and 13,222 women), the percentage who were willing to get the COVID-19 vaccine was lower among women than among men (33.0% vs. 41.8%). Age and education level showed a gender gap regarding the association with willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine: men who were older or had a higher level of education were more willing to get the vaccine, whereas women aged 30-49 years and those with a higher level of education showed a relatively low willingness to get the vaccine. For both men and women, marriage, higher annual household income, underlying disease, current smoking, vaccination for influenza during the current season, and fear of COVID-19 transmission were linked to a higher likelihood of being willing to get the COVID-19 vaccine. These findings give important insight into identifying target groups in need of intervention regarding COVID-19 vaccination, especially among women. Providing education about COVID-19 and influenza vaccination in the workplace may be an effective strategy to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake.
