  • [Pre-print, not peer reviewed] A systematic review and meta-analysis of 28 nationally representative samples from 13 countries (n=58,656) found that although a majority of people intend to be vaccinated for COVID-19, an increasing percentage of people are intending to refuse vaccination. Estimates of people intending to refuse vaccination rose from 12% in March-May to 20% in June-October. Being female, younger, having lower income or education level, and belonging to an ethnic minority group were consistently associated with being less likely to intend to vaccinate.
