aUsing the Pearson chi-square test at significance level of alpha=5%; bold indicates statistical significance (p < 0.05).

bHCP type adjusted for trust in CDC and vice versa; both HCP type and trust in CDC adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics shown to be associated with COVID-19 booster status, namely graduation year (to approximate age), race/ethnicity, region, and practice location (urban/suburban/rural); bold indicates statistical significance (p < 0.05).

cSee Supplementary Table 1.

Bold indicates statistical significance (p  <  0.05).
