Which values relate to vaccine hesitancy and vaccination willingness, receipt, and word-of-mouth? And why? An application of Schwartz’s value theory
These results support the relevance and importance of values to vaccination willingness, receipt, and word-of-mouth. We recommend directions for future research to further explore the relation of values with vaccination willingness and behaviors, and we detail possible interventions focused on values to promote vaccination.
