Public attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination: The role of vaccine attributes, incentives, and misinformation
Abstract While efficacious vaccines have been developed to inoculate against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2; also known as COVID-19), public vaccine hesitancy could still undermine efforts to combat the pandemic. Employing a survey of 1096 adult Americans recruited via t...
