Social worlds of attitudes towards anti-COVID-19 vaccination: a Multi-Sited Approach to contextualise a Society in Europe

Abstract What does the balance of attitudes towards the anti-COVID-19 vaccination look like in an eastern European Society? We compared what the Romanians in Romania, interviewed on the subject in the Flash Eurobarometer 494, say with what those from other European Union countries said. From the "discussion with the data" we understood that there are not only ani-vaxxers, pro-vaxxers, and hesitant. There are other categories that matter, between them. We tried to see how much it mattered, in the pro- or anti-vaccination beliefs, not only the usual demographic conditionings of education, age, gender, or residential environment, but also personal pre-pandemic vaccination experiences, as an adult, or trust in institutions relevant to the COVID-19 vaccination. How is the typical Romanian compared to the typical European from the perspective of the main factors of conditioning the attitude towards the anti-COVID-19 vaccination?
