ABSTRACT. Empirical evidence on COVID-19 vaccine safety regulation has been scarcely documented in the literature. Using and replicating data from Abacus Data, Carleton University, ICF, and Pew Research Center, I performed analyses and made estimates regarding globalized infectious diseases, health literacy, and anti-immunization sentiment. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.
