Zusammenfassung:Recent studies in the United States have shown that between 56 to 74% are willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. A significant portion of the population should be vaccinated to avoid severe illness and prevent unnecessary deaths. We examined correlates of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among a representative sample of adults residing in Ohio. We conducted a cross-sectional study using an online platform (n = 2358). Descriptive statistics, chi-square test and multivariable regression analysis were performed. Overall, 59.1% of the participants indicated COVID-19 vaccine acceptance to be vaccinated. In the multivariable model, the likelihood of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance was lower for younger individuals compared to those 55 years and older. The odds of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance were lower for: females compared to males (OR 0.58, 95% CI: 0.47-0.71; P = 0.001), non-Hispanic blacks compared to non-Hispanic whites (OR: 0.49 95% CI: 0.35-0.70; P = 0.001), previously married (OR 0.64 95% CI: 0.49-0.84; P = 0.002) and never been married (OR 0.75 95% CI: 0.59-0.96; P = 0.023) compared to married people, individuals with less than high school (OR 0.21 95% CI: 0.08-0.60; P = 0.003) and high school education (OR: 0.45 95% CI: 0.36-0.55; P
