However, there is an unmet need for continuous and objective measures to identify MDD development before it results in productivity loss. The aim of this study was…
Sociodemographic factors affecting not receiving Covid-19 vaccine in Japan among people who originally intended to vaccinate
Objective: Vaccine hesitancy is a major issue for acquiring herd immunity. However, some individuals may go unvaccinated owing to inhibitory factors other than vaccine hesitancy. If there is even a small number of such people, support is needed for equitable vaccine distribution and acquiring herd immunity. We investigated sociodemographic factors that affected not undergoing COVID-19 vaccination in Japan among individuals who had strong intentio…
