ABSTRACT. Despite the relevance of COVID-19 vaccine education in relation to vaccine hesitancy attitudes and preventive behavior adherence, only limited research has been conducted on this topic. Using and replicating data from APA, AP-NORC, Gallup, ICF, Kaiser Family Foundation, KFF, McKinsey, Medscape, Statista, Washington Post, and YouGov, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding COVID-19 vaccine hesitance and resistance. The results of a study based on data collected from 5,800 respondents provide support for our research model. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
