This study employs comprehensive clustering analysis to examine COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and related socio-demographic factors across U.S. counties, using the collected curated data from Johns Hopkins University. Utilizing K-Means hierarchical clustering, we identify five distinct clusters characterized by varying levels of hesitancy, MMR vaccination coverage, population demographics, political affiliations. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was conducted reduce dimensionality, key variables were selected based on their contribution cumulative explained variance. Our reveals significant geographic demographic patterns in providing valuable insights for public health strategies future pandemic responses. Geospatial highlights distribution United States, indicating areas with high low hesitancy. In addition, multiple regression analyses within each cluster predictors corresponding county clusters, emphasizing importance socio-economic factors. The findings underscore need targeted interventions tailored communication address States and, potentially, globe.

Abstract Background General vaccination rates have been falling globally despite unequivocal health benefits. Noncompliance can result from access barriers and/or hesitant attitudes. Few studies investigated the prevalence and determinants of noncompliance with COVID‐19 in blood donors. Methods We surveyed donors on infection history, motivations for vaccination, comorbidities. estimate noncompliance, hesitancy toward vaccines, investigate associated factors using multivariable models. Results From December 2021 to 2022, 33,610 survey respondents were included. Of these, 24% had not vaccinated or missing information, 99% those who reported reasons being unvaccinated declared at least one three attitudes presented (safety concerns; personal/cultural/religious beliefs; young worrying about vaccinated). Among noncompliant donors, <2% barriers. In model addressing vaccine younger age, male gender, White/Caucasian race, absence comorbidities, residency a State less restrictive policies, living micropolitan rural areas identified as significant predictors. Younger age race independently among Conclusions found high mostly driven by hesitancy. Understanding adherence donors—a relatively highly educated healthy population, good healthcare usually motivated altruism—could provide key information that may be harder overcome.
