Thank you for your interest in this important study. Analyzing and pointing out factors that have been found to influence SARS-CoV-2 vaccine acceptance is essential in the global struggle of increasing vaccination rates and minimizing the COVID-19 pandemic effect on global health. Our research focused on a 2-month period, during which many of the factors studied had been static and were not expected to change over at least the short term following period (such as educational background, socioeconomic level, sex, military occupation, and more). Nonetheless, we agree that a longer-term study that evaluates how alterations in factors that are amendable to changes over time would influence vaccine acceptance can add substantial information. We appreciate the correspondent’s attention and thoughtful insights.
