The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that influence vaccination options,
including vaccination against COVID-19, in order to develop a management algorithm for decisionmakers to reduce vaccination reluctance. This paper’s primary objective is to empirically determine
the relationships between different variables that correlate to non-vaccination behavior of the target
population, as well as the implications for public health and situational management strategies for
future vaccination intentions. We created a questionnaire to investigate the personal approach to
disease prevention measures in general and vaccination in particular. Using SmartPLS, load factors
for developing an algorithm to manage vaccination reluctance were calculated. The results shows
that the vaccination status of an individual is determined by their vaccine knowledge. The evaluation
of the vaccine itself influences the choice not to vaccinate. There is a connection between external
factors influencing the decision not to vaccinate and the clients’ motives. This plays a substantial
part in the decision of individuals not to protect themselves by vaccination. External variables on the
decision not to vaccinate correlate with agreement/disagreement on COVID-19 immunization, but
there is no correlation between online activity and outside influences on vaccination refusal or on
vaccine opinion in general.
