The 5C model (Confidence, Calculation risk, Complacency, Collective Responsibility, and Constraints) an accompanying tool measure vaccine hesitancy, summarize several significant explanatory variables, move beyond most common variable, Confidence. Methods From January May 2021, we administered a cross-sectional survey among adults in Pima County, Arizona collaboration with local department assess psychological antecedents ( i.e ., factors that lead to) COVID-19 vaccination using Scale. Participants were recruited virtually for multiple recruitment methods. Unadjusted adjusted hierarchical ordinal logistic regressions conducted determine if variables had association intention vaccinate (or intent vaccinate) against COVID-19.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination hesitancy (VH) posed an equally unexpected and significant obstacle to effectiveness of public health interventions. VH has not only potential stir up unrest, but it may also impede success entire immunization programs thus prevent attainment herd immunity. This cross-sectional, quantitative, descriptive study examined behavior (VB) among 3486 university students in Ghana, using a standardized self-administered questionnaire based on 5Cs model other relevant variables. The findings confirm VB influenced by both sociodemographic factors, such as gender (OR: 1.45; [CI: 1.26–1.67]), program 0.55; 0.47–0.64]), ethnicity 1.31; 1.12–1.52]) four 5Cs, i.e., Confidence (OR:1.56; 1.45–1.68]), Constraints 0.83; 0.78–0.87]), Calculation (OR:0.85; 0.78–0.92]), Collective Responsibility (OR:1.27; 1.16–1.38]), yet Complacency, nor religion. Notably, was further shaped previous vaccine experience, information sources, attributes, stance passport, conspiracy beliefs, with misinformation from unofficial sources playing key role. multiple regression models explained 11% 34% variance indicating varying degrees explanatory power for each factor influencing eventually VH. highlights urgent need targeted interventions, integrating education into orientation programs, streamlining processes, leveraging influencers trust-building campaigns.

Nursing home residents are at elevated risk for severe complications from respiratory viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and syncytial virus (RSV). homes required to report COVID-19 vaccination coverage can voluntarily influenza RSV among CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network. The purpose of this study was assess COVID-19, nursing early in the 2024-25 season. As November 10, 2024, 29.7% had received a 2024-2025 vaccine. Among facilities that elected against (59.4% facilities) (51.8% facilities), 58.4% vaccination, 17.9% vaccination. Vaccination varied by U.S. Department Health Human Services region, social vulnerability index level, facility size.

This study presents a framework for determining the prioritization of vaccine introduction in National Immunization Program (NIP) Republic Korea, with focus on case examples assessed 2021 and 2023. We describe predefined criteria evaluating vaccines NIP established process Korea. These included disease characteristics, rationality efficiency resource allocation, acceptance immunization. The prioritizing involved several sequential steps: demand survey, evidence collection, preliminary evaluation, priority decision making. In 2023, 14 25 committee members participated NIP, respectively. Overall, 13 19 candidates were 2023 evaluations, Through Delphi survey consensus processes, order was determined: vaccination against Rotavirus infection top 2021, while Influenza 4v (for chronic patients) took precedence demonstrates an evidence-based decision-making within healthcare field. outlined approach may provide valuable guidance policymakers other countries seeking to prioritize inclusion new their NIP.
