COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and related fears and anxiety

CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19-related anxiety and health-related fears were associated with higher vaccine acceptance, whereas the fear of social and economic consequences showed the contrary direction. These findings highlight the need to differentiate between several types of fears and anxiety to predict their influence on vaccine acceptance, and provide important information and an essential base for future studies and interventions.PMID:33951558 | PMC:PMC8078903 | DOI:10.1016/j.intimp.2021.107724
