A Discrete Choice Analysis Comparing COVID-19 Vaccination Decisions for Children and Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

COVID-19 vaccination rates in the US remain below optimal levels. Patient preferences for different attributes of vaccine products and the vaccination experience can be important in determining vaccine uptake decisions.

Objective

To assess preferences for attributes of adult and pediatric COVID-19 vaccination among US adults.

Design, setting, and participants

An online survey of a national panel of 1040 US adults was conducted in May and June 2021. A discrete choice analysis was used to measure the relative value of each attribute in the decision to choose a COVID-19 vaccination option for adults or children. Six attributes were used to described hypothetical vaccination options: vaccine effectiveness, mild side effects, rare adverse events, number of doses
