Absztrakt:
Illnesses or their threat are not experienced in a vacuum but in the context of a network of people with whom we discuss health-related issues. It is important to learn about relevant peers who influence COVID-19 vaccine related decisions and to explore the protective factors against negative interpersonal social influence so as to decrease vaccine hesitancy and help achieve herd immunity.
Polarisation was detected in the COVID-19 vaccine discussion network. The ratio of alters with tertiary education, the ratio of health professional alters and the ratio of vaccinated alters is lower among those who refused COVID-19 vaccination. They also had lower scores on both the health knowledge and the social-norm espousal scales. Our multivariate analysis identified four negative correlates of COVID-19 vaccination refusal: at least one influenza inoculation in the past, the ratio of vaccinated alters among COVID-19 vaccine discussion partners, health knowledge level and social-norm espousal. These effects were also confirmed among those who had at least one unvaccinated alter.
