Attitude to Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2, 2020

In December 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine was authorised for the first time in the Western world. However, the effectiveness of national vaccination plans depends on the willingness of the population to vaccinate. Previous research on hesitation with vaccination has shown various factors that influence decision-making vaccination, such as gender, age, education, socio-economic status, occupation, vaccination experience, experience with the disease and trust in professionals. For a better understanding of attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination a cross-sectional survey of the Slovenian population was carried out. 12,042 individuals replied to the online survey. Oral regression analysis and mediation analysis examined the interaction of various factors affecting the intent of vaccination. The text analysis of the answers to the open questions provided a better insight into the motivation for the answers. The data was weighted by Valicon, who used the questions on his JazVem panel in parallel.
