Religious Service Attendance, COVID-19 Vaccine Attitudes, and COVID-19 Vaccination Status: A Vaccine Safety Datalink Member Survey, 2022-2023.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The intersections of religion and vaccination became visible early in the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, initial pandemic data reporting associations between religiosity and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is nearly 5 years old and has methodologic limitations. The aim of this study was to examine the associations between religious service attendance, COVID-19 attitudes, and COVID-19 vaccination at the midpoint of the COVID-19 public health emergency.

Methods

A survey of Vaccine Safety Datalink members, purposefully sampled by race, ethnicity, language, and pregnancy status (N=2,856), was administered from November 2022 through February 2023. Data were analyzed through weighting and multivariable logistic regression.

Results

Overall, 960 people (33%) responded; 22.8%
