Table 3.

A binary logistic model (n = 111, Nagelkerke R2 = 0.556, p < 0.0001) with willingness to be vaccinated for free being the dependent variable (“yes” = 1, “no” = 0).

Independent Variable (“Yes” = 1, “No” = 0) Coefficient p Value Odds Ratio (95% Confidence Interval)
Vaccines are safe for most people and do not cause long-term side effects or complications 2.067 0.001 * 7.90 (2.43–25.74)
Vaccines may cause the infectious disease they target −1.942 0.002 * 0.14 (0.04–0.49)
Vaccination is the only way to gain immunity apart from acquiring the disease itself 1.365 0.047 * 3.91 (1.02–15.05)
Vaccination is also useful for healthy people with no existing disease 1.072 0.153 2.92 (0.67–12.73)
There is a natural decrease of viral infections, regardless of the use of vaccines 0.538 0.399 1.71 (0.49–5.99)
Used to be vaccinated against influenza before the COVID-19 pandemic −0.159 0.854 0.85 (0.16–4.65)
Vaccination against influenza in 2020 2.216 0.037 * 9.17 (1.15–73.47)
COVID-19 infection −0.880 0.383 0.42 (0.06–2.99)
Constant −3.032 0.001 * 0.05 (n/a)
