Abstract
This study investigates the factors influencing COVID-19 vaccine uptake in the Maldives. Using data from the Values in Crisis Survey - Wave Two (n=497), the study finds a 94% vaccine coverage rate. Social value orientations, particularly conservation and self-transcendence, positively correlated with vaccine uptake. However, only conservation significantly predicted vaccine uptake in a regression model. The findings highlight the role of prosocial values in achieving high vaccine coverage despite uncertainties surrounding the vaccines.
