估计接种COVID-19疫苗的一般人群的百分比，并调查与COVID-19疫苗摄取相关的因素。我们于2021年8月在希腊进行了一项在线横断面研究。我们包括年龄在18岁 以上的个人。自变量包括参与者的社会人口统计数据以及对COVID-19疫苗接种和大流行的态度。我们的结局变量是COVID-19疫苗接种状况，通过回答“是/否”来衡量。大多数参与者（87.8%）接种了COVID-19疫苗。多变量分析发现，年龄的增加和教育水平的提高与COVID-19疫苗接种的可能性增加有关。此外，在卫生服务机构工作的参与者、以前没有COVID-19 diagnóstico的参与者以及以前有季节性流感疫苗接种史的参与者接种COVID-19疫苗的可能性更大。此外，自我感知的COVID-19严重程度的增加、对COVID-19的了解以及对COVID-19疫苗和科学家的信任与COVID-19疫苗的摄取有关。另一方面，对于那些更关心COVID-19疫苗副作用的参与者来说，接种疫苗的可能性较低。了解影响个人接种COVID-19疫苗决定的因素对于提高COVID-19疫苗接种率至关重要。政策制定者和科学家应加大努力，提高年轻人、低教育水平人群等特定人群的COVID-19疫苗接种率。
To estimate the percentage of the general population vaccinated against the COVID-19 and to investigate the factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake. We conducted an online cross-sectional study in Greece during August 2021. We included individuals over 18 years of age. Independent variables included socio-demographic data of the participants and attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination and pandemic. Our outcome variable was COVID-19 vaccination status, measured through “yes/no” answers. Most participants had been vaccinated against the COVID-19 (87.8%). Multivariate analysis identified that increased age and a higher level of education were associated with an increased likelihood of COVID-19 vaccination. Also, participants working in health services, participants without a previous COVID-19 diagnóstico, and those with previous seasonal influenza vaccination history had a greater probability to take a COVID-19 vaccine. Additionally, increased self-perceived severity of COVID-19, knowledge regarding COVID-19, and trust in COVID-19 vaccines and scientists were associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake. On the other hand, the likelihood of vaccination was lower for participants who were more concerned about the side effects of COVID-19 vaccination. Understanding the factors affecting individuals' decision to take a COVID-19 vaccine is essential to improve the COVID-19 vaccination coverage rate. Policymakers and scientists should scale up their efforts to increase the COVID-19 vaccination rate among specific population groups such as young people, people with a low level of education, etc.
