ABSTRACT. We draw on a substantial body of theoretical and empirical research on hesitancy towards receiving a COVID-19 vaccine in terms of concerns about side effects and safety, mistrust in government and health authorities, and perceived susceptibility and severity of the virus, and to explore this, we inspected, used, and replicated survey data from The British Academy, CEAL, de Beaumont, Jones et al. (2021), KFF, Medscape, MSDH/OPHHE, The Royal Society, Tegan and Sara Foundation, and W2O, performing analyses and making estimates regarding COVID-19 vaccine perceptions, attitudes and behaviors. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.

Keywords: COVID-19; vaccine; side effect; safety; perception; behavior
