Data were analyzed by structural equation modeling usingSPSS v.21 and AMOS v.23 package programs.Results: Attitude towards German COVID-19 vaccine (?=0.888, p<0.001) and German’scountry of origin (?=0.436, p<0.001) variables have significant and positive relationships withintention to get German vaccine. Subjective norms (?=0.750, p<0.001), China’s country ofimage (?=0.265, p<0.001), attitude towards Chinese COVID-19 vaccine (?=0.198, p<0.001),variables have significant and positive relationships with intention to get Chinese COVID-19vaccine. Country of origin image is significantly and positively related to both attitude towardsGerman COVID-19 vaccine (?=0.690, p<0.001) and Chinese COVID-19 vaccine (?=0.461,p<0.001).Conclusion: The most important factor associated with the intention to get German COVID19 vaccine is the attitude towards the COVID-19 vaccine.
