ABSTRACT
Our purpose was to identify the reasons why members of the population, aged 18-60 years, are vaccinated against COVID-19 at the mass vaccination point in Bages, Spain. This is 1 of 42 provisional spaces outside of health centres which have been set up in Catalonia in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and where people from all over Catalonia could go to be vaccinated by appointment. METHODOLOGY:
We performed a cross-sectional study of users attending mass vaccination points in Bages during the months of July, August, and September 2021.RESULTS:
A total of 1361 questionnaires were statistically analysed. The most common reasons for vaccination were fear of infecting family (49.52%) and fear of self-infection (39.45%), followed by socialising (31.00%) and travel (30.56%). However, by applying a logistic regression model to each reason for vaccination, it was possible to estimate the associations regarding age, sex, marital status, educational level, production sector, mass vaccination point, previous COVID-19 infection, and COVID-19 infection of a family member. RELEVANCE The data generated will inform decisions and formulations of appropriate campaigns that will promote vaccination in specific population groups.
