Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to explore the COVID-19 vaccination intentions and influencing factors with the adoption of Health Belief Model. Methods: The participants of this study were 308 students from a college in Korea. We developed a questionnaire about COVID-19 vaccination intentions and related factors. Online survey was conducted from August 9th to 22nd, 2021. Chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression was applied using SAS 9.4, and Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition was analyzed with Stata 14. Results: Among total study participants, 258 students (83.8%) already get vaccinated or planned vaccination against COVID-19. After adjusting for the respondents’ demographic factors and related experiences, those who had lower perception of barriers for vaccination or those who had significant cue to action were more likely to get vaccinated. Conclusion: In order to increase COVID-19 vaccination rates, it is necessary to maximize the perceived benefits and overcome the perceived barriers of the vaccination through providing specific information and establishing communication system based on reliable scientific evidence.
