Little is known about the diversity of residents' preferences for COVID-19 vaccines during time when management was downgraded in China. This study aims to investigate these using discrete choice experiment (DCE) and profile case best–worst scaling (BWS-2), assess concordance between two methods. Chinese residents recruited online survey were asked evaluate vaccine profiles through both DCE BWS-2 from April July 2023. Attributes included effectiveness, duration protection, risk severe adverse events (degree), total out-of-pocket (OOP) cost, brand, vaccination method. We utilized conditional regression mixed logit models estimate preference levels potential attributes. To methods, re-scaling Spearman correlation test used. Additionally, subgroup analysis conducted determine most suitable method different population groups, categorized by hesitancy level. A 438 (71.22%) respondents included. similar pattern found with having a strong 90% effectiveness. However, methods diverged other preferences; favored domestic brands low event risk, while preferred moderate three years protection. Concordance assessment, including Spearman's linear regression, showed no significant poor underscoring differences. Preference heterogeneity revealed among groups; however, effectiveness remained important attribute all subgroups population. Oral option vaccine-hesitant high-risk groups. offers new insights into varying following downgrading pandemic measures. The findings underscore need diverse strategies policy design. Special emphasis should be placed on attributes that align public priorities, such as high levels, enhance uptake.

Abstract Vaccination rates are still insufficient to prevent the spread of COVID-19, so immunity must be increased among population in order reduce virus’ and associated medical psychosocial effects. Although previous work has identified various factors with a low willingness get vaccinated, role emotions such as fear vaccination (FVAC) or COVID-19 (FCOV), subjective norm (SN), psychological like general control beliefs (CB) resilience, their interaction have been investigated less intensively. We used data from three cross-sectional waves German Panel COSMO (November 2021, N = 1010; February 2022, 1026; March 1031) multiple logistic regression analyses test whether moderated by those factors.

Despite evidence that COVID-19 vaccination can strengthen mental health, there is limited about this in Bangladesh. Thus, comparative study assessed the prevalence and factors associated with health problems between vaccine receivers nonreceivers.Using a snowball sampling technique, web-based cross-sectional was conducted among total of 459 participants. The survey questionnaire included sociodemographic information, Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), Trauma Screening (TSQ-10).The found were nonsignificantly prevalent nonreceivers than those who received it (i.e., 24.79% vs. 20.60% for depression, 21.20% 16.60% anxiety, 15.30% 12.60% posttraumatic stress disorder).
