尽管对COVID-19疫苗的推出热情高涨，但一些老年人仍然对接种疫苗犹豫不决。关于社区居住的老年人对疫苗犹豫不决的证据有限。在这项研究中，我们研究了这一组疫苗犹豫的患病率和预测因素（特别是信息来源所起的作用）。我们使用医疗保险当前受益人调查，并采用多变量logistic回归模型来探讨这一点。相对于那些依赖常规新闻的人，那些依赖卫生保健提供者（HCP），社交媒体，其他互联网/网页和家人/朋友作为COVID-19主要信息来源的人表达了更高的负面疫苗意图。应谨慎解释以HCP为主要信息来源的高度负面意图。这可能反映了调查的时间和HCP本身对疫苗态度的变化。
Despite high enthusiasm surrounding the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine, some older adults continue to remain hesitant about its receipt. There is limited evidence on vaccine hesitancy among community-dwelling older adults. In this study, we examine the prevalence and predictors (particularly the role played by information sources) of vaccine hesitancy in this group. We use the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey and employ multivariable logistic regression models to explore this. Relative to those relying on regular news, those depending on health care providers (HCPs), social media, other internet/webpages, and family/friends as the main information source on COVID-19 expressed higher negative vaccine intent. The high negative intent with HCPs as the main information source should be interpreted with caution. This could be reflective of the timing of the survey and changing attitude toward the vaccine among HCPs themselves.
