Willingness to receive a booster dose of inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine in Taizhou, China.
Expert Rev Vaccines. 2022 Feb; 21(2):261-267.ER

Abstract

PURPOSE

This population-based study aimed to determine the willingness to receive a booster dose of vaccine against coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Taizhou, China.

METHODS

An online questionnaire investigation addressing participants' willingness to receive a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine was organized in Taizhou, China. Of the 2318 interviewees who received the invitation, 1576 finished a qualifying questionnaire, corresponding to a response rate of 68.0%.

RESULTS

The majority of respondents (n = 1435 [91.1%]) were willing to accept a booster vaccination against COVID-19. History of allergic reaction to other vaccines (OR = 0.30), confidence in the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines (OR = 3.20), confidence in the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 (OR = 2.25) and its variants (useful versus [vs.] useless, OR = 2.33), and vaccine recipients (OR = 3.09) remained significantly associated with willingness to accept a booster dose of COVID-19 vaccines.

CONCLUSION

A moderate proportion of the participants who responded were willing to receive a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. These results are valuable for starting health education and interventions to accelerate vaccine uptake and improve public health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic in China.
