Abstract in brief

  • The study surveyed over 3,500 people in China in 2020 to understand their intentions and willingness to pay for the COVID-19 vaccine, finding most were likely to get vaccinated if they believed it reduced their risk and had fewer concerns about vaccine efficacy.
  • People generally trusted and preferred domestically-made COVID-19 vaccines over foreign ones, with confidence in local vaccines being quite high; socioeconomic factors influenced how much they were willing to pay.
  • The research used the Health Belief Model to explain vaccination rates and willingness to pay, emphasizing the importance of addressing barriers and promoting vaccine benefits to improve vaccination uptake.]
