Factors associated with COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy in Thai Seniors.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveOlder people are the most vulnerable group for developing SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) reduces infection, hospitalization, and mortality rates, some older people have refused to get vaccinated. Our study aimed to evaluate factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among Thai seniors.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional telephone survey on vaccine hesitancy in a geriatric clinic at Ramathibodi Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. Patients aged ≥60 years were contacted and interviewed by trained interviewers between June 20 and July 25, 2021.
resultsIn total, we interviewed 282 participants aged 60-93 years (mean age 73.0±7.5 years). We found that 44.3% of participants were hesitant to get a COVID-19 vaccination. Factors associated with high vaccine hesitancy were low education, lack of confidence in the healthcare system's ability to treat patients with COVID-19, vaccine manufacturers, being offered a vaccine from an unexpected manufacturer, and a low number of new COVID-19 cases per day.
conclusionThe prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among Thai seniors is relatively high, and is associated with specific factors. These findings will help in promoting COVID-19 vaccination among Thailand's senior citizens.
