To gain insights into strategies to boost vaccine coverage, we surveyed 3000 Canadian residents aged ≥ 18 years examined their knowledge receipt co-administered vaccines. During the 2022–2023 season, 70% respondents reported being aware vaccines could be co-administered, but only 26.2% (95% CI, 23.6% 28.8%) received them together. The most common reason for not getting together was before annual available (reported by 34.5% [31.2% 37.7%]). Lack interest in co-administration 22.6% (20.8% 24.3%); this group, 20.8% (17.1% 24.5%) seeing no benefit receiving two 17.2% (13.5% 20.9%) were concerned about compounded adverse effects from These results support willingness Canadians receive same time.

The purpose of this study examine partisan differences in annual uptake before and after pandemic. Methods This uses longitudinal panel survey data from Understanding America Study (UAS), spanning 2015 2024. Using self-reported vaccination partisanship over time, I estimate odds ratios groups pandemic, during pre-vaccination phase rollout vaccine. Results In pre-COVID years, predicted probability was 0.54 ([0.52,0.56], P < .000) among Republicans 0.63 ([0.61,0.64], .00) Democrats. After roll-out vaccine, average 0.44 ([0.43,0.46], 0.61 ([0.59,0.62], Conclusions pandemic increased gap vaccination. Researchers should continue investigate other types vaccinations grown post-COVID. Practitioners may need tailor their messaging vaccine-hesitant demographics.

Despite the availability, effectiveness safety of vaccination, vaccination coverage remains suboptimal globally. In this study, we examined prevailing negative sentiments related to via a deep learning analysis public Twitter posts over past five years. We extracted original tweets containing terms 'flu jab', '#flujab', vaccine', '#fluvaccine', 'influenza '#influenzavaccine', or '#influenzajab', posted English from 1 January 2017 November 2022. then identified with sentiment individuals, was followed by topic modelling using machine models qualitative thematic performed independently study investigators. A total 261,613 were analyzed. Topic produced topics grouped under two major themes: (1) criticisms governmental policies (2) misinformation vaccination. majority centered around perceived vaccine mandates coercion vaccinate. Our temporal trends also showed an increase prevalence year 2020 onwards, which possibly coincides COVID-19 There typology misperceptions underlying Public health communications should be mindful these findings.
