A research group led by Associate Professor Shuhei Nomura of Keio University School of Medicine conducted a large-scale national survey on the intention to inoculate the new coronavirus vaccine. It turned out that I was changing my mind toward inoculation.

 慶應義塾大学によると、研究グループは新型コロナウイルスワクチンの一般接種が始まる直前の2021年2月、3回目の接種が始まっていた1年後の2022年2月の2度に渡り、20歳以上の日本人約1万9,000人からワクチン接種の意向をオンラインで聞き取った。そのうえで、1回目と2回目の調査で心変わりした人たちの回答を解析した。

 Of the 1 people who answered "I don't know if I wouldn't inoculate" in the first survey, 8,077 in the second survey changed their minds to "I'm going to inoculate."When this group was analyzed by a statistical method called cluster analysis,
・ Recognized the benefits of inoculation
・ I learned about the inoculation status of people close to me
・ Recognized the social significance of inoculation
・ Vaccine side reactions and safety concerns have been dispelled
・ Convenience in work and relationships
It was found that it can be explained by the five features of-.

 On the contrary, out of 1 people who answered "inoculate" in the first survey, 1 people who answered "not inoculated / do not know" in the second survey are statistically analyzed by regression analysis. After analysis,
・ Unmarried
・ Poor health
・ I have not been vaccinated with influenza vaccine every year.
・ Has a history of infection with the new corona
-It became clear that the features are listed.
