Having close kin (partner and children) and COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Notes: The graph shows results for the effect of the explanatory variable (having kin) in the form of average marginal effects (AMEs) with 95% CIs from a multinomial logistic regression model for the three-level categorical outcome vaccine acceptance. Each AME compares the predicted probability of a certain outcome category (e.g., being vaccinated or willing to get the vaccine) for one of the three groups of older adults who have kin available (e.g., those who have both a partner and children) with the predicted probability for the reference group (kinless, i.e., older adults who lack both a partner and children). All control variables are included in the models. Full estimates are available in SI Appendix, Table S2. Data are from the SHARE Corona Survey 2 (June to August 2021).
