Background Over 1 million people in the United States have died of COVID-19. In response to this public health crisis, US Department Health and Human Services launched We Can Do This education campaign April 2021 increase vaccine confidence. The uses a mix digital, television, print, radio, out-of-home channels reach target audiences. However, impact on uptake has not yet been assessed. Objective aimed address gap by assessing association between COVID-19 campaign’s digital impressions likelihood first-dose vaccination among adults. Methods A nationally representative sample 3642 adults recruited from probability panel was surveyed over 3 waves (wave 1: January February 2021; wave 2: May June 3: September November 2021) regarding vaccination, confidence, sociodemographics. Survey data were merged with weekly paid delivered each respondent’s media market (designated area [DMA]) during that period. unit analysis survey respondent–broadcast week, respondents nested DMA. Data analyzed using multilevel logit model varying intercepts DMA time-fixed effects. Results successful encouraging vaccination. findings robust multiple modeling specifications, independent effect change dose remaining practically unchanged across all models. Increases DMA-level given week –30,000 30,000 increased 125%. Conclusions study provide initial evidence uptake. size length make it uniquely situated examine which may help inform future communication efforts broader efforts. These suggest is positively associated adults; research reduced COVID-19–attributed morbidity mortality other benefits recommended. indicates played an important role pandemic response.

Objective To investigate whether positive and negative expectations prior to are associated with systemic Design, Setting, Participants This prospective cohort study analyzed the association expected benefits risks vaccination, at first observed in close contacts severity among adults receiving a second dose messenger RNA (mRNA)–based vaccines between August 16 28, 2021. A total 7771 individuals state center Hamburg, Germany, were invited participate; these, 5370 did not respond, 535 provided incomplete information, 188 excluded retrospectively. The mobile application m-Path was used for data collection. Main Outcomes Measures Primary outcome composite index 12 areas measured once daily an electronic diary over 7 consecutive days. Data mixed-effects multivariable ordered logistic regression adjusted prevaccine levels observation times. Results 10 447 observations from 1678 vaccinations (BNT162b2 [Pfizer BioNTech] 1297 [77.3%] mRNA-1273 [Moderna] 381 [22.7%]) collected. participants’ median age 34 (IQR, 27-44) years, 862 (51.4%) women. risk more severe higher persons expecting lower benefit (odds ratio [OR] expectations, 0.72 [95% CI, 0.63-0.83]; P < .001), (OR, 1.39 1.23-1.58]; having experienced burden 1.60 1.42-1.82]; scoring Somatosensory Amplification Scale 1.21 1.06-1.38]; = .004), if vaccine given rather than BNT162b2 2.45 2.01-2.99]; .001).
