Persuasive messaging to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake intentions

Widespread vaccination remains the best option for controlling the spread of COVID-19 and ending the pandemic.

Without high rates of uptake, however, the pandemic is likely to be prolonged. ScienceDirect used two survey experiments to study how persuasive messaging affects COVID-19 vaccine uptake intentions.
