Vaccination intentions as a function of the belief, or lack thereof, that COVID-19 vaccines prevent transmission. The percentages in the bars represent the proportions of respondents per belief. Most respondents did not know or did not assume that vaccination would curb transmission (i.e., lead to community immunity). When respondents believed that vaccination prevents transmission, vaccination intentions were higher than in the two other cases (F[2, 2,983] = 99.18, P < 0.001, ηg2 = 0.062). Data were collected as part of the cross-sectional COVID-19 Snapshot MOnitoring (COSMO; ethical clearance from University of Erfurt’s institutional review board no. 20200302/20200501) study series between 15 and 29 December 2020; n = 2,986.
