As the global pandemic perpetuates, keeping population vaccinated will be imperative to maintain societal protection from SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus. However, while empirical evidence regarding predictors of intention receive a first COVID-19 vaccine has amassed, our understanding psychological and behavioral drivers continued vaccination remains limited. In this pre-registered study (UK: AsPredicted#78370|Australia: AsPredicted#81667), factors predicting booster were investigated in two adult samples UK (N = 1222) Australia 1197) that nationally representative on age, gender, geographic location. High levels intent found (73% 67%, respectively). Exploratory Structural Equation Modelling (ESEM) revealed three key emerged across both Australian samples: concern virus, positive perceptions vaccines, perceived severity side effects experienced last dose. Several additional (age, months since vaccine, familiarity with effects, regularly receiving influenza vaccine) present dataset. These findings provide important targeting virus may serve participation programme, paving way for future behavioural research area.

Although numerous studies investigated the predictors of vaccination intention and decision, little is known about relationship between well-being. This study compares physical mental health dimensions among vaccinated unvaccinated people. In a cross-sectional online survey, 706 university students from Poland (mean age 23 years, 76% women) participated in this during fourth pandemic wave (November-December 2021). Standardized questionnaires with Likert response scale were included survey to measure spirituality, exposure COVID-19 pandemic, perceived health, stress, coronavirus-related PTSD, fear COVID-19, anxiety, depression, life satisfaction. Consistent fuzzy-trace theory, sample was younger scored significantly lower than group while higher The network analysis showed that plays crucial role both groups, central influence anxiety stress on depression message should focus benefits maintaining status quo good Campus prevention programs primarily aim reduce negative emotions by teaching coping strategies, relaxation techniques, mindfulness.

Abstract Global COVID-19 booster vaccination uptake has been low, particularly in low-middle-income countries (LMICs). However, studies on the determinants of remain limited, especially LMIC settings. This study aims to describe an context. We analyzed data from a cross-sectional survey that was conducted September 2022 four provinces Indonesia. Participants (n=2,223) were recruited using multiple-stage cluster sampling. Multivariable logistic regression analysis used identify factors associated with status. The proportion among fully vaccinated adults 29.5%, while fear transmission (12.4%) and perceived risk getting infection (33.5%) low. showed people living Java Island (aOR: 2.45, 95% CI: 1.87-3.24), urban area 2.04, 1.60-2.61), being employee formal sector 3.99, 1.93 - 8.58), experiencing side effect previous 1.71, 1.40-2.09), having history SARS-COV2 2.10, 95%CI: 1.27-3.50), perception upcoming new wave 1.37, 1.07 -1.76), believing pandemic not ended 1.29, 1.01, 1.64) shot uptake. Low educational level 0.6, 0.39-0.93) inhibited Current dose coverage considerably lower than primary dosage. low belief no longer, which might hinder catch up wide-population target control for reduced disease severity hospitalization. Thus, efforts need be prioritized reaching vulnerable population, includes elderly those comorbidities.

COVID-19 vaccine boosters are recommended because the protection provided by previous doses eventually decreases, posing a threat to immunity. Some people, however, remain hesitant or unwilling get vaccinated. The present study sought investigate factors associated with intention receive booster based on (1) constructs of Health Belief Model, and (2) trust in healthcare workers science. A sample 165 adults two were recruited using convenience sampling. Data was collected an online survey from November 2021 January 2022. included questions about participants' socio-demographic details, health beliefs, trust, history vaccination, third dose vaccine. Ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that higher perceived benefits, severity, workers, lower barriers predicted willingness whereas susceptibility science did not. Understanding beliefs underlie hesitancy vital when developing effective interventions aim increasing uptake vaccines.

Therefore, examining public perceptions vaccination evaluate immunization programs raise performance goals essential. Purpose: To determine relationship between Belief Model components (perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barrier, cues action) participation COVID-19 booster survivors aged ≥45 years. Conducted from April November 2022, this research was located working area (Mojolangu, Tunjungsekar, Tunggulwulung, Tasikmadu village).

Data analysis done Chi-Square test Binary Logistics Regression tests. Results: The respondents were dominated by middle age group (45-59 years), primarily entrepreneurs monthly income more than IDR 3.5 million domiciled village. perceived benefits variable showed p=0.04 (aOR=2.67; 95% CI=1.03-6.91) barriers p=0.01 (aOR=3.60; CI=1.39-9.28), while vulnerability p=1.00 (cOR=1.00; CI= 0.32 – 3.16), perception act p= 0.18 (cOR= 1.82; 0.75 - 4.40).
