The study tested different metaphors for five vaccine-related questions. Below are the five questions and links to animated versions of some of the metaphors that were tested in the study.<\/p>\n

  1. How do vaccines work? A Castle metaphor: https:\/\/bit.ly\/49nEvjX<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Is ‘natural immunity’ better than vaccine-induced immunity? A Fire drill metaphor: https:\/\/bit.ly\/3SI1e4F<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Are vaccines that are developed quickly safe? A Cake metaphor: https:\/\/bit.ly\/3SndFBw<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Why take a vaccine if I’m at low risk from the illness? A Speed Limit metaphor: https:\/\/bit.ly\/3SFA7XU<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Why take a vaccine if it isn’t 100% effective? A Raincoat metaphor: https:\/\/bit.ly\/4boy6qa<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
