[Abstract] The vaccines for COVID-19 have been developed, and vaccination in Japan began on February 17, 2021, starting with doctors and nurses, followed by those aged 65 years and older on April 12, and those aged 18 to 64 years on June 17. In this study, an online survey (CAWI) was conducted in late November 2021 for people aged 15 (excluding junior high school students) to 74. The questions included the month in which they got their first vaccination and how many of their family members, relatives, colleagues, and friends/acquaintances had already been vaccinated at the time of the shot. The data analysis of non-medical/nursing personnel under 64 years of age showed that the higher the rate of vaccinated people in the workplace or that of vaccinated friends/acquaintances, the later the timing of vaccination. I.e., peer pressure occurred in such a way to avoid taking a shot; the more people around the person got vaccinated, the later in the timing of vaccination the focal person was.
