Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations: Our study had certain limitations. Our study population was large, but not representative since we used a convenience sample. For instance, the proportion of women, people with a high level of education, and workers in healthcare facilities was considerably higher in our study compared to the general population in Greece. Moreover, online surveys during the COVID-19 pandemic are a rational approach but diminish the representativeness of the study population since individuals with limited internet access are less likely to participate. Additionally, the response rate and the profile of non-correspondents cannot be estimated in online surveys. Thus, it would be wise not to generalize our conclusions but to carry out studies with more representative samples. Information bias was possible in our study since the study questionnaire was self-administered and we cannot objectively verify self-reported vaccination. Anonymity in our study may have reduced this information bias. Finally, we have investigated several factors that may affect individuals’ decision to uptake a COVID-19 vaccine, but there may be other factors influencing this decision.
