Article Abstract
Purpose: To assess how previous experiences and new information contributed to COVID-19 vaccine intentions.
Design: Online survey (N = 1264) with quality checks.
Setting: Cross-sectional U.S. survey fielded June 22-July 18, 2020.
Sample: U.S. residents 18+; quotas reflecting U.S. Census, limited to English speakers participating in internet panels.
Measures: Media literacy for news content and sources, COVID-19 knowledge; perceived usefulness of health experts; if received flu vaccine in past 12 months; vaccine willingness scale; demographics.
Analysis: Structural equation modelling.
Results: Perceived usefulness of health experts ( = .422, < .001) and media literacy ( = .162, < .003) predicted most variance in vaccine intentions (R-squared=31.5%). A significant interaction ( = .163, < .001) between knowledge ( = -.132, = .052) and getting flu shot ( = .185, < .001) predicted additional 3.5% of the variance in future vaccine intentions. An increase in knowledge of COVID-19 associated with a decrease in vaccine intention among those declining the flu shot.
Conclusion: The interaction result suggests COVID-19 knowledge had a positive association with vaccine intention for flu shot recipients but a counter-productive association for those declining it. Media literacy and trust in health experts provided strong counterbalancing influences. Survey-based findings are correlational; thus, predictions are based on theory. Future research should study these relationships with panel data or experimental designs.

Background: Noncommunicable diseases are the leading cause of death, present economic challenges to health care systems worldwide, and disproportionally affect vulnerable individuals with low socioeconomic status (SES). While digital health interventions (DHIs) offer scalable and cost-effective solutions to promote health literacy and encourage behavior change, key challenges concern how to effectively reach and engage vulnerable individuals. To this end, social media influencers provide a unique opportunity to reach millions, and lasting engagement can be ensured through the design of DHIs in a manner that specifically appeals to low-SES individuals through alignment with their social background.
