Note: Statistical significance was set at p < .05, and statistically significant differences are denoted with an asterisk (*). Statistical significance was set at p < .01, and statistically significant differences are denoted with an asterisk (**). Low intention refers to those who did not plan to or unsure about vaccination while High intention are those who are likely to vaccinate or already vaccinated.
