Note. All models present coefficients as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals in parentheses. Models were estimated using logit models given the binary nature of the dependent variables. Here, dependent variables are coded as 1's if a respondent indicates the intent to refuse for a particular reason and 0's if the respondent intends to vaccinate. **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05.
