Abstract Developing ways to predict and encourage vaccine booster uptake are necessary for durable immunity responses. In a multi-nation sample, recruited in June–August 2021, we assessed delay discounting (one’s tendency choose smaller immediate rewards over larger future rewards), COVID-19 vaccination status, demographics, distress level. Participants who reported being vaccinated were invited back one year later (n = 2547) report their willingness receive dose, along with reasons decision. After controlling demographic variables level, greater discount was associated reduced dose. Thematic coding revealed that the most common reason protection against COVID-19, unwillingness non-necessity. The results identify as behavioral predictor of may be used inform tailored approaches increase (e.g., trust science vs. mandates).
