Vaccinated or not? Survey on attitude toward 'approach-avoidance conflict' under uncertainty.

Vaccinated or not? This is an attitude survey for 'approach-avoidance conflict' under uncertainty. Therefore, measuring people's attitude toward COVID-19 vaccination is relatively distinctive from an attitude over a general conflict. An online survey of 3123 respondents from 30 provincial-level regions - out of 31 - on the Chinese mainland was conducted from January 22 to 27, 2021 to measure their willingness to be vaccinated. We found that over half of the respondents chose the options 'not to be vaccinated now' and 'wait and see before making a vaccination decision,' thereby indicating that people's willingness to be vaccinated is not as optimistic as anticipated in the early stage of vaccination in China. Hence, investigators should carefully select the measuring method to assess the 'true' levels of willingness to accept COVID-19 vaccines. Lastly, the relevant departments should fully predict obstacles to achieve immunity coverage and prepare for the 'vaccine hesitancy' of people in need.
