Predictors of COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance: The Role of Trust and the Influence of Social Media.

The study discusses the predictors of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in Romania. We implemented a national survey using an online panel ( = 1006), representative for the online population of Romania aged 18 or higher, conducted on 13-26 October, 2020, by the national pollster QUESTIA. Results show a predictive model of people's willingness to take the COVID-19 vaccine, in which trust in the actors and institutions involved in the management of the crisis is the strongest predictor, followed by the belief in toxic or misleading narratives about vaccines and the COVID-19 pandemic, and media consumption patterns.
