Abstract

Objective To understand the willingness and influencing factors of COVID-19 vaccination among people aged 60 years and above in Zhejiang Province. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted from September to November 2020 using stratified sampling among population aged 60 years and above in Zhejiang Province. Socio-demographic information, willingness to receive COVID-19 vaccine and awareness of the risks of COVID-19 were collected. Chi-square test and multivariate Logistic regression were used to explore the factors associated with vaccination willingness. Results A total of 1 858 participants were completed the questionnaire. The vaccination willingness rate for the free vaccination and self-pay vaccination for COVID-19 vaccine were 88.3% and 66.1%, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression showed that for free vaccination, those who lived in the country (OR=1.6, 95% CI: 1.2-2.2)、did not go outside(OR=1.6, 95% CI: 1.1-2.3)、had heard of COVID-19 (OR=3.7, 95% CI: 2.4-5.8), and believed that SARS-CoV-2 could cause serious consequences (OR=2.3, 95% CI: 1.6-3.5) had higher willingness of vaccination. For self-pay vaccination, the main reasons for receiving COVID-19 vaccine were their agreement with the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine, while the main reasons for reluctance of vaccine were considered with the fee and side effects. Conclusions The willingness of COVID-19 vaccination is at a relatively high level among people aged 60 years and above in Zhejiang Province. However, further education should be concerned for the promotion of the vaccination.
