COVID-19大流行继续肆虐世界，其中美国受到的影响最为严重。疫苗为永久解决疫情大流行提供了最好的希望。然而，为了有效，疫苗必须被大多数人接受和使用。本研究的目的是了解人们对潜在的 COVID-19 疫苗接种的态度和面临的障碍。为了衡量这些态度，一家调查公司对全美 316 名受访者进行了一项调查。使用结构方程模型分析了几个因素与对潜在的 COVID-19 疫苗接种态度的关系。之前的疫苗使用情况和态度可以预测人们对 COVID-19 疫苗接种的态度。对美国 COVID-19 严重程度的评估也是具有预测性的。大约 68% 的受访者支持接种 COVID-19 疫苗，但副作用、功效和测试时间长度仍然令人担忧。在美国，更长的测试时间、更高的功效和开发与疫苗接受度的提高显着相关。宣传 COVID-19 疫苗接种的信息应设法减轻那些已经对疫苗犹豫不决的人的担忧。针对美国作为一个国家接种疫苗的好处的信息将解决第二个预测因素。在疫苗发布之前，应该花足够的时间来减轻对短期和长期副作用的担忧。
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to ravage the world, with the United States being highly affected. A vaccine provides the best hope for a permanent solution to controlling the pandemic. However, to be effective, a vaccine must be accepted and used by a large majority of the population. The aim of this study was to understand the attitudes towards and obstacles facing vaccination with a potential COVID-19 vaccine. To measure these attitudes a survey was administered to 316 respondents across the United States by a survey corporation. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the relationships of several factors with attitudes toward potential COVID-19 vaccination. Prior vaccine usage and attitudes predicted attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination. Assessment of the severity of COVID-19 for the United States was also predictive. Approximately 68% of all respondents were supportive of being vaccinated for COVID-19, but side effects, efficacy and length of testing remained concerns. Longer testing, increased efficacy and development in the United States were significantly associated with increased vaccine acceptance. Messages promoting COVID-19 vaccination should seek to alleviate the concerns of those who are already vaccine-hesitant. Messaging directed at the benefits of vaccination for the United States as a country would address the second predictive factor. Enough time should be taken to allay concerns about both short- and long-term side effects before a vaccine is released.
