Resumen
CAVAZOS-ARROYO, Judith y PEREZ DE CELIS-HERRERO, Concepción. Intention to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in the population of 40 years and older in Mexico. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.2, pp.1-. Epub 01-Jun-2023. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v24n2.96015.
Objective
To evaluate the effect of information sources on COVID-19, the benefits and perceived barriers of vaccination, and the attitude towards vaccination on the intention to get vaccinated against COVID-19 in the population aged 40 and over in Mexico.
Methods
A quantitative, cross-sectional and explanatory investigation was developed. An electronic survey was applied to 703 people aged 40 and over who reside in Mexico. The analysis of results was carried out through the technique of structural equations by means of the method of partial least squares.
Results
The sources of information on COVID-19 positively influence the perceived benefits of the vaccine and reduce the perceived barriers. Furthermore, the perceived benefits positively influence the attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination; however, barriers do not affect attitude. Additionally, the latter influences the intention to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and indirectly the sources of information and the perceived benefits influence the intention to be vaccinated mediated by the attitude.
