 This study examined the attitudes towards vaccination in Italy during the COVID-19 pandemic. It identified three distinct groups of individuals, those who accepted the vaccine immediately, those who delayed their vaccination, and those who refused to take the vaccine altogether. The study also found that these groups tended to share similar demographics such as gender, age, educational background, and geographical location. Additionally, the study found that the primary reason for delaying or refusing the vaccine was fear of potential side effects.
