Impact of Vaccination-Differentiated Public Health and Social Measures on Vaccine Uptake Among the Vaccine Hesitant.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Vaccine hesitancy poses a hurdle toward achieving high population-level immunity and reducing disease transmission. One policy response adopted during the COVID-19 vaccination campaign was the implementation of vaccination-differentiated public health and social measures. This paper aims to evaluate the impact of vaccination-differentiated public health and social measures on COVID-19 vaccination rates in Singapore, with a specific focus on vaccine-hesitant persons.

Methods

An interrupted time series design with segmented linear regression was utilized to assess the impact of the announcement of each vaccination-differentiated public health and social measure on vaccine uptake rates among the vaccine-naive population. Newey-West standard errors with a 7-day lag
