dc.description.abstract | Background: After the emergence of the first vaccines against the COVID-19, public health authorities have promoted
mass vaccination in order to achieve herd immunity and reduce the effects of the disease. Vaccination rates
have differed between countries, depending on supply (availability of resources) and demand (altruism and resistance
to vaccination) factors.
Methods: This work considers the hypothesis that individuals’ health altruism has been an important factor to
explain the different levels of vaccination between countries, using the number of transplants as a proxy for altruism.
Taking European Union’s countries to remove, as far as possible, supply factors that might affect vaccination, we carry
out cross-sectional regressions for the most favorable date of the vaccination process (maximum vaccination speed)
and for each month during the vaccination campaign.
Results: Our findings confirm that altruism has affected vaccination rates against the COVID-19. We find a direct
relationship between transplants rates (proxy variable) and vaccination rates during periods in which the decision to
be vaccinated depended on the individual’s choice, without supply restrictions. The results show that other demand
factors have worked against vaccination: political polarization and belonging to the group of countries of the former
Eastern bloc.
Conclusions: Altruism is a useful tool to define future vaccination strategies, since it favors the individuals’ awareness
for vaccination. | es |
