US EditionLong-Term Study Reveals Shifting Patterns in COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy
Hesitancy dropped from 8% to 1% in a year with nearly two-thirds of initially hesitant people eventually vaccinated, the study said.
- On Tuesday, an England-based study said 65% of initially hesitant people later received at least one Covid-19 jab, based on National Health Service records used in the study.
- Between January 2021 and March 2022, researchers found hesitancy peaked at 8% in January 2021 and fell to 1.1% using data from 1.1 million people sampled in the REACT study.
- Researchers found specific clusters of concerns, noting eight clusters of hesitancy reasons and that people in economically deprived areas, unemployed people, and those with low education predicted persistent refusal to vaccinate.
- The study concluded that most hesitancy was rooted in concrete concerns that can be addressed with time and more information, and authors said the findings could speed adherence in public-health vaccine roll-outs.
- Some experts warned the results may have limited use outside the pandemic context, while Italian researchers Claudia Palmieri and Silvio Tafuri urged checking if similar drivers affect routine vaccines such as measles and the flu, noting billions of jabs have demonstrated safety.
