Key Points Question What factors are associated with US adults’ choice of and willingness to accept a hypothetical COVID-19 vaccine? Findings In this survey study of a national sample of 1971 US adults, vaccine-related attributes (eg, vaccine efficacy, adverse effects, and protection duration) and political factors (eg, US Food and Drug Administration approval process, national origin of vaccine, and endorsements) were associated with preferences for choosing a hypothetical COVID-19 vaccine. Health care attitudes and practices, political partisanship, and demographic characteristics, including age, sex, and race/ethnicity, were also associated with willingness to receive a vaccination. Meaning The results of this survey study may help inform public health campaigns to address vaccine hesitancy.
