COVID-19疫苗接种可能是控制大流行的一种有希望的方法，但其成功取决于各种人群对疫苗的接受程度，包括由于积极的生活方式和认为刀枪不入而易感染COVID-19的年轻人。接受疫苗的决定可能受到多种因素的影响，人们在决策时可能会对这些因素进行不同的权衡。目前的研究旨在探索南卡罗来纳州大学生对COVID-19疫苗的接受程度，并研究他们如何根据自己的COVID-19疫苗接受程度（即，接受、犹豫、拒绝）。在线调查数据收集自2020年9月至10月期间南卡罗来纳州的1062名大学生。采用多项逻辑回归比较影响疫苗接受水平的12个因素的感知重要性，控制人口统计学变量。约26.1%的参与者表示，如果有COVID-19疫苗，他们肯定会接种。与接受组相比，拒绝组和犹豫组考虑了副作用和疫苗特性（例如，疫苗的生产地）一样重要。犹豫组认为学校/学院的权威建议很重要。验收小组认为政府/医生的权威意见和当地疫苗的供应非常重要。我们的研究结果表明，南卡罗来纳州的大学生对疫苗的接受程度相对较低，根据他们的接受程度，他们在接种疫苗时考虑了不同的因素。有针对性的疫苗宣传信息应解决拒绝和犹豫群体的具体关切。由于犹豫小组认为学校的建议很重要，学校应在疫苗运动中采取有效的沟通策略。大学健康教育工作者还需要注意拒绝群体，他们不像疫苗决策中的同行那样重视保护期或权威建议。
COVID-19 vaccination could be a promising approach in controlling the pandemic, but its success relies on the vaccine acceptance among various populations including young adults who are vulnerable to COVID-19 due to active lifestyle and perceived invulnerability. Vaccine acceptance decisions can be influenced by multiple factors and people may weigh these factors differently in decision making. The current study aimed to explore COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among college students in South Carolina and examine how they weigh these factors according to their COVID-19 vaccine acceptance levels (i.e., acceptance, hesitance, refusal). Online survey data were collected from 1062 college students in South Carolina between September and October 2020. Multinomial logistic regression was used to compare perceived importance of 12 factors affecting levels of vaccine acceptance, controlling for demographic variables. About 26.1% of participants reported they would definitely take COVID-19 vaccines when available. Compared to acceptance group, refusal and hesitance groups considered side effects and vaccine characteristics (e.g., where the vaccine is produced) as important. Hesitance group considered authoritative advice from school/college as important. Acceptance group considered authoritative advice from government/doctors and local availability of the vaccines as important. Our findings suggest relatively low vaccine acceptance among college students in South Carolina and different factors were considered in their vaccination decision according to their acceptance levels. Tailored vaccine promotion messages should address specific concerns among the refusal and hesitancy groups. Schools should attend to valid communication strategies in vaccine campaign since the hesitancy group considered school’s advice as important. College health educators also need to pay attention to the refusal group who do not value duration of protection or authoritative advice as much as their counterparts in vaccine decision making.
