COVID CRISIS LAB Seminar Series 2024 — Spring edition

Teresa Gavaruzzi, “Individuals’ decision making about COVID-19 vaccination” 

ABSTRACT

Starting from one of the first studies on vaccine acceptance conducted in Italy before the COVID-19 pandemic was declared so and when vaccines were not yet available (Feb-June 2020) and continuing with later studies on samples representative of the Italian population, the seminar will examine: the role of affect and risk perception on vaccine acceptance, the reasons in favour and against vaccination guiding decision making and their trade-off, the factors associated with vacillating intentions about vaccination and those associated to the support for public health policies such as the vaccination certificate.
