Da intenção à hesitação: análise do comportamento dos funcionários de empresas de Picos-PI sobre a vacinação do combate à Covid-19

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the behavior of employees of companies established in Picos-PI regarding vaccination against COVID-19, focusing on the factors that influence the transition between innovation and vaccine hesitancy. The problem that drives the research proposes the understanding: What are the factors that influence vaccine intention and hesitancy among employees of companies in Picos-PI? The study has a quantitative approach and descriptive character, and was carried out through a structured questionnaire, answered by 73 employees working in different sectors. The results of the investigation indicate that, although most participants recognize the importance of immunization, there are factors that limit vaccination adherence. It was also found that factors such as level of education, age and sources of information used directly impact attitudes towards vaccination. The research reinforces the relevance of clear communication strategies and the role of organizations in addressing vaccine hesitancy.
