Software and Algorithms Sentences Resources We used Stata/SE 16.1 (StataCorp, College Station, TX, USA) for all analyses. StataCorpsuggested: (Stata, RRID:SCR_012763)Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).
Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:A limitation of this study is that we recruited study participants from an Internet research company’s list of panelists. A previous study on the anti-vaccine movement reported that anti-vaccine messages were more prevalent on the Internet than in other sources.36 Therefore, the participants in the current study may have been particularly likely to access anti-vaccine websites, and this should be taken into account when interpreting the results of our study. Additionally, we conducted the current study before the administration of the COVID-19 vaccination program in Japan; therefore, we could not provide participants with detailed information, such as the vaccination schedule, which may have affected their willingness to get the vaccine. In conclusion, the current study revealed a gender gap in the associations of age and education level with willingness to get the COVID-19 vaccine. In particular, women aged 30–49 years and those with a higher level of education were less willing to get the vaccine. These findings may imply the need for intervention for this population regarding COVID-19 vaccination. Providing education about COVID-19 and influenza vaccination in the workplace may be an effective strategy to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake.
