Abstract

In a repeated-measures design, we assessed change in vaccination status in 2022 among 256 participants who indicated no intention to get vaccinated a year earlier. Compared to older adults, younger adults were more likely to report change in vaccination status, particularly if they were more intolerant of uncertainty.
