Delay discounting predicts COVID-19 vaccine booster willingness.

Cogn Res Princ Implic

January 2025

Department of Psychology and Centre for Integrative and Applied Neuroscience, York University, 4700 Keele St., Toronto, ON, M3J 1P3, Canada.

Developing ways to predict and encourage vaccine booster uptake are necessary for durable immunity responses. In a multi-nation sample, recruited in June-August 2021, we assessed delay discounting (one's tendency to choose smaller immediate rewards over larger future rewards), COVID-19 vaccination status, demographics, and distress level. Participants who reported being vaccinated were invited back one year later (n = 2547) to report their willingness to receive a booster dose, along with reasons for their decision.
