Abstract: [Objective] Measuring people’s attitude towards COVID-19 vaccination is relatively distinctive from an attitude over a general conflict. [Methods] An online survey of 3123 respondents from China’s 30 provinces and municipalities (except Tibet Autonomous Region) was conducted from January 22 to 27, 2021 to measure their willingness to be vaccinated. [Results] Over half of the respondents chose the options ‘not to be vaccinated now’ and ‘wait and see before making a vaccination decision’, thereby indicating that people’s willingness to be vaccinated is not as optimistic as anticipated in the early stage of vaccination in China. [Conclusions] Researchers should carefully choose survey methods to investigate people's real willingness to vaccination. It is suggested that relevant departments should fully anticipate and prepare for people's "vaccination hesitation" " "
