Background
-
There are widespread policy concerns that uptake of vaccination may be sub-optimal which could undermine potential control of the pandemic.
-
Reduced uptake in specific population subgroups could result in disproportionate adverse impacts by propagating ongoing chains of transmission, as well as potentially exacerbating health inequalities.
-
While considerable research has investigated willingness to vaccinate before the COVID-19 pandemic, robust quantitative data are limited to inform the response to this pandemic.
-
Cross-cohort analysis can allow interrogation of which population subgroups express the least willingness to take up a vaccine and can allow replication of analyses to identify robust predictors.
Specific research question
How willing are different population subgroups to be vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 infection? What are the predictors of being unwilling to vaccinate?
