What is Predictors of COVID-19 vaccine uptake: an online three-wave survey study of US adults about?

## Background To effectively promote vaccine uptake, it is important to understand which people are most and least inclined to be vaccinated and why. In this study, we examined predictors of COVID-19 vaccine uptake and reasons for non-vaccination. ## Methods We conducted an online English-language survey study in December-2020, January-2021, and March-2021. A total of 930 US respondents completed all surveys. Multiple logistic regression models were run to test whether the early vaccine eligibility, demographic factors, and psychological factors predict getting at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccination in January-2021 and in March-2021. ## Results The proportion of respondents who received ≥ 1-dose of a COVID-19 vaccine increased from 18% (January) to 67% (March). Older age predicted vaccine uptake in January (OR = 2.02[95%CI = 1.14–3.78], __p__ < .001) and March (10.92[6.76–18.05], __p__ < .001). In January, additional predictors were higher numeracy (1.48[1.20–1.86], __p__ < .001), COVID-19 risk perceptions (1.35[1.03–1.78], __p__ = .029), and believing it is important adults get the COVID-19 vaccine (1.66[1.05–2.66], __p__ = .033). In March, additional predictors of uptake wer
