Table 2. Determinants of vaccine hesitancy among those not yet vaccinated.

Coefficients are odds ratios (95% CI) based on logistic regressions. Standard errors are clustered at the regional level. Outcome is an indicator variable for vaccine hesitancy, which is equal to 1 if participants reported being either unsure whether they would get vaccinated or certain that they would not and 0 otherwise. We included the experimental group as an additional control to adjust for the possible impact of the information treatments messages on vaccine hesitancy (coefficient not shown here).
