Longitudinal assessment of COVID-19 vaccine uptake: A two-wave survey of a nationally representative U.S. sample.

ABSTRACT: Understanding factors that influence those who are initially COVID-19 vaccine hesitant to accept vaccination is valuable for the development of vaccine promotion strategies. Using Ipsos KnowledgePanel®, we conducted a national survey of adults aged 18 and older in the United States. We created a questionnaire to examine factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake over a longitudinal period ("Wave 1" in April 2021 and "Wave 2" in February 2022), and utilized weighted data provided by Ipsos to make the data nationally representative. Overall, 1189 individuals participated in the Wave 1 survey, and 843 participants completed the Wave 2 survey (71.6% retention rate). Those who intended to be vaccinated as soon as possible ("ASAP") were overwhelmingly vaccinated by Wave 2 (96%, 95% CI: 92%
