Abstract

Nowadays, COVID - 19 outbreak still exists throughout the world and seriously affects people's lives, since the new crown vaccine on all kinds of media information about the vaccine, and people also never stopped, the discussions of the vaccine in this paper, the authors take the form of a random questionnaire, exploring a certain number of people. This paper investigated the relationship between the public’s cognitive demand for vaccine information and attention level on the amount of vaccine knowledge they acquire and the degree of relevant thinking, and used the Cognitive Mediation Model (CMM) to conduct a series of data analyses, and observe some phenomena. For example, the public’s perception of vaccine information demand positively related to public attention, focus on epidemic information level, and the relationship between the public’s perception of vaccine information demand was positively associated with the degree of involvement with the public to think. The public of vaccine information and relational thinking levels was positively related to the level of attention level and public attention to vaccine information for vaccine utility were positively correlated
