Abstract
This study investigated COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and resistance in Ireland and the UK using nationally representative data. Vaccine hesitancy/resistance was found in 35% and 31% of the populations, respectively. While sociodemographic and health-related factors varied between the countries, psychological factors were similar. Those resistant to vaccination were less likely to trust traditional information sources and showed higher levels of mistrust generally.
