Note. Significant Odds Ratios (ORs) (p < .05) are bolded.

a

Strongly disagree/disagree (vs. strongly agree/agree or don't know) with the statement, “If a vaccine were available to prevent COVID-19, I would not get it”; 18% strongly disagreed, 22% disagreed, and 25% said “don't know”.

b

c

0 = Not Important to 100 = Very Important.

d

1= Few (0–20%), 2 = Less than half (21–40%), 3 = Around half (41–60%), 4 = More than half (61–80%), 5 = Most or nearly all (81–100%).
