    Open AccessIara do Nascimento Teixeira, Guilherme Welter Wendt et al.ARTICLESocieties2025References: 1

In the COVID‐19 pandemic and with the possibility of the Brazilian population's immunization against the disease, both political and health‐related dimensions might have had a role in individual COVID‐19 vaccination acceptance. In two studies (n = 974), we tested the hypothesis that participants' vaccination acceptance is rela…
