Willingness to pay for the vaccination against COVID-19. Of 531 participants, 440 indicated their willingness to pay for vaccination. Based on the original experimental data [1], we calculated the minimum and maximum share of participants willing to pay a certain price. For the minimum gradient, participants were considered willing to pay a given price if they accepted at least one of the two offered charges and the price did not exceed the highest accepted charge. For the maximum gradient, participants were considered willing to pay a given price if they accepted one or neither of the two charges and the price was less than the lowest rejected charge, or if they accepted both charges. For example, in relation to the US$200 price tag, a participant who accepted a first charge of US$177 but not a second charge of US$266 was included in the maximum gradient but not in the minimum gradient. The results indicate a steep decline in vaccination intention with rising price
