The full model was adjusted for age (continuous), gender, education level, chronic disease, health literacy (continuous), trust in non-medical institutions (continuous), trust in the medical sector (continuous), trust in media sources (continuous), being a health professional, being infected with COVID-19, knowing someone who was infected with COVID-19, frequency of media consumption, everyone should be vaccinated according to the national vaccination schedule and willingness of taking flu vaccines.
