Overview

Longitudinal cohort study assesses how perceived severity and susceptibility relate to vaccine uptake, indicating key public health implications.

Key Points

  • Perceived severity of COVID-19 strongly predicts vaccine uptake, especially after mandates were lifted, suggesting timelines matter.
  • Older adults with chronic health issues show higher perceived severity, highlighting demographic variability in vaccine intentions.
  • Generalized estimating equations were used to analyze associations over time, underscoring the impact of changing pandemic contexts.
  • Findings emphasize the need for tailored vaccine promotion strategies that consider contextual and demographic factors.
