The study surveyed 13,426 individuals across 19 countries to assess potential acceptance rates and factors influencing the acceptance of a COVID-19 vaccine. Key findings include: - 71.5% of participants reported a high likelihood of taking a COVID-19 vaccine if it were proven safe and effective. - 48.1% said they would accept their employer's recommendation to get vaccinated. - Acceptance rates varied significantly, ranging from nearly 90% in China to less than 55% in Russia. - Higher levels of trust in government information sources were associated with greater vaccine acceptance. - Age, income, education, and trust in government were significant factors influencing vaccine acceptance. - Older individuals were more likely to accept the vaccine, while younger individuals were more likely to accept employer recommendations. - There was a significant discrepancy between reported acceptance and acceptance if mandated by employers, suggesting that voluntary acceptance is more effective. The study highlights the need for clear and consistent communication, building trust, and addressing community-specific concerns to enhance vaccine acceptance and achieve community immunity.The study surveyed 13,426 individuals across 19 countries to assess potential acceptance rates and factors influencing the acceptance of a COVID-19 vaccine.
