Implication

Survey study reveals that past vaccination behavior and perceived disease severity predict COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in US adults, highlighting the need to address safety and testing concerns.

Key Points

To identify the obstacles and primary factors that influence public attitudes toward accepting a potential COVID-19 vaccine.
Administered a cross-sectional survey to 316 respondents across the United States.
Applied structural equation modeling to evaluate the relationships between prior vaccine behaviors, perceived threat, vaccine characteristics, and vaccination attitudes.
Approximately 68% of respondents supported receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, with attitudes significantly predicted by prior vaccine usage, past attitudes, and perceived national severity of COVID-19.
Vaccine acceptance increased significantly with longer testing duration, higher vaccine efficacy, and domestic development, while concerns remained centered on efficacy, testing length, and adverse side effects.
