The Language of Misinformation Literacy: COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Attitudes, Behaviors, and Perceptions

Abstract

Despite the relevance of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions, only limited research has been conducted on this topic. Using and replicating data from AP-NORC, Kaiser Family Foundation, KFF, McKinsey, Medscape, Morning Consult, Patch, Washington Post, W2O, and YouGov, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding whether vaccine hesitancy may subvert endeavors to control COVID-19. The results of a study based on data collected from 5,900 respondents provide support for our research model. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
