I propose to use the numerical difference between the first and second dose as a proxy measurement of vaccine hesitancy in a given population provided that they were given the opportunity to have a second dose.
What say you?

Will not be relevant, since after first dose subject is already hooked, and will be actively pushed for second(third) under guise "if it was bad after first, it could be much worse if you will not get second".
That could work if all that was completely voluntarily and without possibility for vaccinators to track down and push their subjects who got caught first time.
Anecdotal, but i know three people who got the first dose and got scared enough to not get the second.
And they was not pursued to take second one? I thought that vaccinators got their vaccination money only after administering second dose, so they will pursue subjects hard to avoid penalties for spending first dose for nothing.
I imagine theyve been pursued to some degree, but in the end its their choice, and they got cold feet. Not everyone in America is "getting money" to take it.
Of course. I'm talking about doctors/nurses who get money for successful administering of vaccine. AFAIK succesfull vaccination accounted only when doctor/nurse do second jab.
