Objective: To determine the prevalence of attitudes towards the COVID-19 vaccine and its association with institutional trust and infodemic in Colombian adults.
Methodology: An analytical cross-sectional study was designed, with the participation of adults living in Colombia, who answered the Trust in the institutional response to the outbreak scale (Trust in the institutional response to the outbreak), the Resistance Scale or attitude towards the vaccine and the infodemic questionnaire.
Results: A total of 1,441 participants aged 18 to 74 years (M=22.28; SD=6.65). 55.93% were female and 66.97% had a university education, and 68.49% reported low income. The prevalence of resistance to the COVID-19 vaccine was 63.98%. Negative attitude toward the vaccine associated with low trust in institutions during outbreaks (aOR=1.80; 95% CI 1.45-2.25), and an infodemic evidenced in the misinformation that getting vaccinated for COVID-19 can have side effects (aOR=1.5; 95% CI 1.12-2.09) and implant a microchip (aOR=1.52; 95% CI 1.20-1.94). The variables emerging age, wage income, and vaccine limitation of civil rights were not linked to negative attitude toward the vaccine.
Conclusion: The prevalence of negative attitude towards the COVID-19 vaccine was 63.98% and was associated with low trust in institutions during outbreaks and an infodemic evidenced by misinformation and concern about the side effects of the vaccine and will implement a microchip when vaccinated. Future research requires longitudinal studies of attitudes during the post-pandemic.
