With the arrival of effective COVID-19 vaccines, the fight against the ongoing global pandemic entered a new stage. The question shifted towards how to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible. Understanding the reasons people choose to get vaccinated or not is integral in informing immunization campaigns. But who are the unvaccinated? This is determined by using cross-national data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). We investigate the interrelation of the (un)willingness to be vaccinated with social and health aspects as well as the economic situation of our sample of adults in Europe, aged 50 and above. We find that respondents' economic situation as well as diagnosed physical illnesses and education show the strongest relation to vaccination hesitancy. Our results provide a comprehensive picture of influential factors of older adults' vaccination behaviour that can advance the success of the immunisation campaigns in Europe.

Dank effektiver COVID-19-Impfstoffe begann eine neue Phase des Kampfes gegen die Pandemie. Die Frage lautet nun: Wie können wir viele Menschen schnellstmöglich impfen? Hierbei ist im Hinblick auf die Verbesserung der Impfkampagnen entscheidend zu verstehen, warum Menschen sich für oder gegen eine Impfung entscheiden. Aber wer sind die Ungeimpften? Das soll anhand einer Untersuchung der Beziehung zwischen der Impfbereitschaft von älteren Befragten und sozialen, gesundheitlichen und wirtschaftlichen Faktoren festgestellt werden. Basierend auf Daten des Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), kommen wir zu dem Schluss, dass die finanzielle Lage von Befragten, diagnostizierte physische Krankheiten und der Bildungsstand die stärksten Zusammenhänge zur Impfskepsis aufweisen. Unsere Ergebnisse stellen ein umfassendes Bild der relevanten Faktoren für die ältere Bevölkerung dar und könnten zu wachsendem Erfolg der Impfkampagnen in Europa beitragen.
