Factors associated with receiving an initial COVID-19 vaccine among Alaskan residents: results from an online cross-sectional survey
Int J Circumpolar Health. 2023 Dec;82(1):2252604. doi: 10.1080/22423982.2023.2252604.ABSTRACTWe conducted an online survey of Alaskan adults between May and June, 2022 to identify factors associated with vaccine hesitancy.
