  1. AOR (Adjusted Odds Ratio) values > 1 indicate higher odds of reporting that the listed motivator did not influence the respondent’s vaccination decision. SE = Standard errors*** p < 0.01, ** p < 0.05. Motivators analysed:
  2. Available at my place of work during working hours.
  3. Opportunity to ask questions and think about the vaccine before making a decision.
  4. Enough information about the safety of the vaccine.
  5. Information available from official international bodies.
  6. Wanted to visit vulnerable family or friends so had the vaccine so that I would not infect them.
  7. Colleagues from the same profession have had the vaccine.
  8. Leaders/management in my organisation have had the vaccine.
  9. Most of my work colleagues were having the vaccine.
