Self-Reported COVID-19 Vaccine and Booster Acceptance and Hesitancy Among Autistic Adults in Pennsylvania: Cross-Sectional Analysis of Survey Data

Self-Reported COVID-19 Vaccine and Booster Acceptance and Hesitancy Among Autistic Adults in Pennsylvania: Cross-Sectional Analysis of Survey Data

This is especially true because booster rates continue to remain low in the general population [21], with a study finding similar trends among Americans with disabilities [22], and research on booster acceptance and hesitancy among autistic adults remains scant despite their disproportionate risk for adverse outcomes.

Natural Language Processing–Powered Real-Time Monitoring Solution for Vaccine Sentiments and Hesitancy on Social Media: System Development and Validation

Yet, despite their value, vaccine hesitancy persists as a barrier to full vaccine uptake. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines vaccine hesitancy as the delay or refusal of vaccination, even when vaccination services are accessible [4]. Additionally, the WHO identifies vaccine hesitancy as one of the top 10 global health threats [5].

A Snapshot of COVID-19 Vaccine Discourse Related to Ethnic Minority Communities in the United Kingdom Between January and April 2022: Mixed Methods Analysis

Vaccine hesitancy, that is, the delay or refusal of vaccinations despite the availability of services [3], has been recognized as a significant contributing factor to the unequal uptake of COVID-19 vaccines across different ethnic groups [4]. This contrasts with anti-vaxxers, defined as a group of individuals who may refuse most if not all vaccinations [5]. Several studies have investigated the causes of hesitancy within the context of the COVID-19 vaccine [6-8].

Factors Underlying Vaccine Hesitancy and Their Mitigations in Saudi Arabia: Protocol for a Systematic Review

Factors Underlying Vaccine Hesitancy and Their Mitigations in Saudi Arabia: Protocol for a Systematic Review

One significant contributing factor to this phenomenon is “vaccine hesitancy” [3,4]. Vaccine hesitancy is defined as a reluctance or delay in accepting or agreeing to receive vaccines, even when vaccination services are readily available. Vaccine hesitancy is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon influenced by a wide range of factors. These factors encompass cognitive, psychological, sociodemographic, political, and cultural elements, among others.

Perspectives on the COVID-19 Vaccination Rollout in 17 Countries: Reflexive Thematic and Frequency Analysis Based on the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Framework

The vaccination process depends on various societal factors such as vaccine hesitancy, vaccine refusal, practical aspects of its application, and uneven/unequal vaccine rollout [16]. Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization identified vaccine hesitancy as one of the top 10 global threats to public health [17].

Ethnic Disparities in COVID-19 Vaccine Mistrust and Receipt in British Columbia, Canada: Population Survey

Ethnic Disparities in COVID-19 Vaccine Mistrust and Receipt in British Columbia, Canada: Population Survey

Although these numbers are impressive, vaccine receipt in Canada has varied by subgroups with some expressing more resistance or hesitancy [2]. Vaccine hesitancy, characterized as a “delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccines despite availability of vaccination services” [3], is a major barrier to prevent severe outcomes for SARS-Co V-2 infection.

Using COVID-19 Vaccine Attitudes Found in Tweets to Predict Vaccine Perceptions in Traditional Surveys: Infodemiology Study

Although the number of vaccine-hesitant individuals continues to decline, the fact that vaccine hesitancy still exists interferes with infection control through vaccination. Vaccine hesitancy has been fueled in part by the spread of vaccine misinformation, both in the media and on the web. In fact, the COVID-19 vaccine became a popular topic of discussion among social media users, with many individuals expressing their concerns about taking the vaccine on social media platforms [2].

Deep Learning Analysis of COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy and Confidence Expressed on Twitter in 6 High-Income Countries: Longitudinal Observational Study

Current evidence reported a number of factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, including sociodemographic factors [4,6] and vaccine confidence, providing strategies to combat vaccine hesitancy in local contexts [7,12,13]. On the other hand, ongoing monitoring of the national and subnational trajectory of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in multiple countries could still offer support in designing tailored policies on improving vaccine uptake.
