We examine heterogeneity in COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy across eight European countries. reveal striking differences countries, ranging from 6.4% of adults Spain to 61.8% Bulgaria reporting being hesitant. experimentally assess the effectiveness different messages designed reduce hesitancy. Receiving emphasizing either medical benefits or hedonistic vaccination significantly increases willingness Germany, whereas highlighting privileges contingent on holding a certificate both Germany and United Kingdom. No message has significant positive effects any other country. Machine learning-based analyses that treatment are smaller even negative settings marked by high conspiracy beliefs low health literacy. In contrast, trust government some groups. The responses suggests authorities should avoid one-size-fits-all campaigns.

Describe demographical, social and psychological correlates of willingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.Series online surveys undertaken between March October 2020.A total 25 separate national samples (matched country population by age sex) in 12 different countries were recruited through panel providers (n=25 334).Reported vaccination.Reported vaccine varied widely across samples, ranging from 63% 88%. Multivariate logistic regression analyses reveal sex (female OR=0.59, 95% CI 0.55 0.64), trust medical scientific experts (OR=1.28, 1.22 1.34) worry about the virus (OR=1.47, 1.41 1.53) as strongest stated acceptance considering pooled data most consistent countries. In subset UK we show that these effects are robust after controlling for attitudes towards vaccination general.Our results indicate burden largely rests on shoulders community, with implications how future information should be communicated maximise uptake.

Vaccination is vital to protect the public against COVID-19. The aim of this systematic review identify and evaluate effectiveness interventions increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake. We searched a range databases (Embase, Medline, Psychology & Behavioral Science, PsycInfo, Web Science NIH Preprints Portfolio) from March 2020 July 2021 for studies which reported primary quantitative or qualitative research on Outcome measures included vaccination uptake intention vaccinate. Reviews, position papers, conference abstracts, protocol papers not in English were excluded. NHLBI quality assessment was used assess risk bias. In total, 39 across 33 met inclusion criteria.

Misinformation and disinformation around vaccines has grown in recent years, exacerbated during the Covid-19 pandemic. Effective strategies for countering vaccine misinformation are crucial tackling hesitancy.

The search strategy was built three themes(1) communications media; (2) misinformation; (3) vaccines. For trials addressing objective 2, risk bias assessed using Cochrane randomized tool (RoB2). Of 2000 identified records, 34 eligible studies addressed 1, 29 which also 2 (25 RCTs 4 before-and-after studies). Nine 'intervention approaches' were identified; most focused content intervention or message (debunking/correctional, informational, use disease images other 'scare tactics', humour, intensity, inclusion warnings, communicating weight evidence), while two delivery (timing source). Some strategies, such as scare tactics, appear be ineffective may increase endorsement. Communicating with certainty, rather than acknowledging uncertainty efficacy risks, found backfire. Promising approaches include weight-of-evidence scientific consensus related myths, humour incorporating warnings about encountering misinformation. Trying debunk misinformation, informational approaches, had mixed results. This identifies some promising communication Interventions should further evaluated by measuring effects uptake, distal outcomes knowledge attitudes, quasi-experimental real-life contexts.

Background Vaccination coverage needs to reach more than 80% resolve the COVID-19 pandemic, but vaccine hesitancy, fuelled by misinformation, may jeopardize this goal. Unvaccinated older adults are not only at risk of complications also be misled false information. Prebunking, based on inoculation theory, involves 'forewarning people [of] and refuting information that challenges their existing belief or behavior'.Objective To assess effectiveness communication strategies in countering disinformation about vaccines among Canadians aged 50 years older, as measured intentions.Method Applying an online experiment with a mixed pre–post design sample size 2500 participants, we conducted national randomized survey English French-speaking March 2021. Responses two different messages were evaluated. Our primary outcome was intention receive vaccine, attitudes toward secondary outcome. The McNemar test multivariate logistic regression analysis paired data when dichotomized. Wilcoxon sign rank Kruskal–Wallis used difference scores between pre- post-tests condition.Results Group comparisons those who received message show prebunking safeguard get vaccinated have protective effect against disinformation.Conclusion Prebunking should considered one strategy for public health combat misinformation.
