Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Additionally, aversion to mandatory limitations to gathering, in-person school and work, and non-essential businesses, might further suggest that most younger adults prefer mandates that require vaccination or other proof of health if they can continue their usual activities. We found no significant difference in preference for vaccination at a doctor’s office, pharmacy, or vaccination site. This might suggest that tailored vaccine administration models for younger adults should focus less on which sites are optimal, and rather prioritize flexibility by having the vaccine available in many different settings. Participants preferred being vaccinated with two doses of the same vaccine over receiving only a single dose or two doses of different vaccine brands. As evidence emerges that “mix-and-match” booster shot strategies could be effective in providing sustained protection against COVID-19 (43), acceptance of this strategy for both initial vaccinations, and potentially also booster shots, might be lower in younger adults. Policy makers should factor this into implementation of such strategies and targeted communications should address concerns about vaccine mixing. While the joint administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccination may be a promising solution to increase coverage for both vaccines (44), our results suggest it would not motivate younger adults to take a COVID-19 vaccine and, like vaccine mixing, may require interventions to improve acceptability. Similar to t...
