Before
Influenza vaccination is important as it can reduce the risk of not only getting, but also spreading influenza.
We evaluate how self-reported willingness to get vaccinated depends on individual preferences and information about the importance of vaccines. We run a 3-arm Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) providing either no information, information about the importance of vaccines to reach herd immunity, or the possible importance of influenza vaccination to protect against COVID-19. The RCT is embedded in a survey conducted on the employees of the University of Zurich, collecting demographic data, self-reported economic preferences, and beliefs about vaccinations and the medical sector.

After
Influenza vaccination is important as it can reduce the risk of not only getting, but also spreading influenza. We evaluated how self-reported regret for not having gotten an influenza vaccination depends on individual preferences and information about the importance of vaccines. We ran a 3-arm RCT providing either no information, information about the importance of vaccines to reach herd immunity or the possible importance of influenza vaccination regarding COVID-19. The RCT is embedded in a survey conducted on the employees of the University of Zurich, collecting demographic data, self-reported economic preferences, and beliefs about vaccinations and the medical sector.
