Building Vaccine Readiness for Future Pandemics: Insights from COVID-19 Vaccine Intent and Uptake
Perceived benefits and barriers were robust predictors of vaccine behavior across both time points. Trust in government became a stronger predictor once vaccines were available, underscoring the importance of building and maintaining public trust throughout a health crisis. Messaging should emphasize vaccine benefits, proactively address barriers, and adapt over time as public perceptions shift. These findings inform strategies for enhancing vaccine confidence and readiness in future pandemics.
