Efficacy or delivery? An online Discrete Choice Experiment to explore preferences for COVID-19 vaccines in the UK
通过在线离散选择实验,研究了疫苗效力、交付方式和媒体报道如何影响英国居民对COVID-19疫苗的选择,发现效力是最关键因素,对55岁以上人群影响更大。
COVID-19 vaccines are widely regarded as an integral component in the UK's pandemic recovery, and a comprehensive distribution strategy will be required to maximise uptake. However, to date, there is a dearth of research into factors that could lead to UK residents' acceptance or rejection of COVID-19 vaccines. This study used a discrete choice experiment to investigate the importance of vaccine properties, delivery and media coverage in amplifying or attenuating vaccine uptake. Efficacy was found to be the factor that most influenced vaccine selection; further, the positive effect of high efficacy was more pronounced for those aged 55+. Insights from this DCE aim to assist policymakers and public health communicators in planning and refining their delivery strategy for COVID-19 vaccines.
