BACKGROUND Vaccination plays an important role in preventing COVID-19 infection and reducing the severity of disease. There are usually differences vaccination rates between urban rural areas. Measuring these can aid developing more coordinated sustainable solutions. This information also serves as a reference for prevention control emerging infectious diseases future. OBJECTIVE study aims to assess current coverage rate influencing factors (second booster) among Chinese residents, well disparities areas China. METHODS cross-sectional used stratified random sampling approach select representative samples from 11 communities 10 villages eastern (Changzhou), central (Zhengzhou), western (Xining), northeast (Mudanjiang) Mainland China February 1 18, 2023. The questionnaires were developed by experienced epidemiologists contained following: sociodemographic information, health conditions, vaccine-related related Protective Motivation Theory (PMT), level trust care system. participants evaluated based on self-reported provided. Binary logistic regression models performed explore participants. Urban-rural assessed using propensity score matching (PSM). RESULTS A total 5780 included, with 53.04% (3066/5780) being female. was 12.18% (704/5780; 95% CI 11.34-13.02) sample, 13.76% (341/2478; 12.40-15.12) participants, 10.99% (363/3302; 9.93-12.06) For condition, self-efficacy, educational level, vaccine knowledge, susceptibility, benefits, system independent associated (all <i>P</i>＜.05). chronic infection, subjective community PSM analysis uncovered 3.42% difference CONCLUSIONS fourth population extremely low, significantly lower than previous rate. Given that is still prevalent at low levels, efforts should focus enhancing self-efficacy expand population. building awareness vaccine’s benefits improving their overall status be prioritized.

Abstract Vaccine hesitancy is an attitude of indecision toward vaccination that related to but not determinative behaviors. Although theories vaccine emphasize it often vaccine‐specific, we do know the extent which this true across sociodemographic groups. In study, asked: What latent classes might exist when examining parents' attitudes vaccines in general and COVID‐19 human papillomavirus (HPV) specifically? Which sociodemographic, health access, health‐related variables are predictive membership those classes? To answer questions, analyze online survey data from parents pediatric patients recruited through eight clinics within University Arkansas for Medical Sciences Rural Research Network. Data were collected between September 16, 2022 December 6, 2022. Latent class analysis revealed three underlying hesitancy, or hesitancies: The “Selectively Hesitant,” “COVID‐Centric “Pervasively Hesitant.” Significant predictors age, education, insurance status, usual source care. may be specific certain some more generalized others. distinct study suggest need approaches addressing depending on population.

Theorists have suggested that firms seek to maintain or increase their social approval—defined as constituents’ general affinity for a firm—due the belief such approval significantly influences support firm and other important outcomes. However, mechanisms underlying changes in translation of into intention remain unclear. In addition, most research has focused on traditional media, whereas constituents increasingly get news about from media. To address these omissions, we use rhetorical theory theorize two characteristics media content—emotionality satire—persuade change evaluations affect firms. We test framework using memes three online surveys allow us isolate effects while maintaining ecological validity. Our results indicate positive negative emotionality content increases decreases an individual’s firm, respectively, satire amplifies effects.

Despite availability of vaccines proven to prevent severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19, a significant portion the population remains hesitant get vaccinated. This study examined association between proximity vaccination sites COVID-19 vaccine uptake role gender distrust in this relationship. We used data Exposure, Prevention, Impact Study Upstate South Carolina United States which was cross-sectional survey conducted March 2022 August using address-based probability sampling for mail-to-web survey. The analysis included 255 respondents (86 men 169 women). About 75% were Men more likely be vaccinated than women (84% vs. 71%). Having 1 9 pharmacies nearby increased odds by 4.64 times; having 10 or these 3.46 times (compared no pharmacies). Each additional kilometer nearest pharmacy decreased 8%. Women showed weaker associations compared men. Including model rendered interaction term insignificant, highlighting as dominant factor. Further that effect on reducing women. These findings underscore complex interplay access, trust, demographic factors determining uptake. Addressing hesitancy requires multifaceted approach. Strategies should focus improving building trust through transparent communication, tailoring interventions demographic-specific barriers.

The influence partisanship should not be overstated, however, particularly when examining across racial groups. Black Americans were among strongest proponents during passage Act, they remained strong supporters Democratic-led proposals expand access many COVID-19. But high levels Democratic alone cannot explain dynamics vaccination, an issue for which consistently show more skepticism white Democrats. Using multiple sources nationally representative survey data from 2016 2022, this study illustrates how self-interest racialized experiences with care system help distinctive divide vaccination attitudes.
