Almost 50% of US residents and ~ 33 % Britons have refused vaccination on one pretext or the other!! Angst related to side effects could be a cause or the alacrity of the vaccination's manufacture may be enough ground for suspicion!
"Recent evidence of the efficacy and safety of a number of in-development COVID-19 vaccines has provided hope that the pandemic may soon end.However, first, people must be willing to receive the vaccine.A survey from September 2020 found that only about half of U.S. adults were definitely or probably willing to be vaccinated.A quarter were probably not willing, and just under a quarter would not get the vaccine, according to the participants’ responses.
The survey revealed that a key anxiety concerns the speed at which the new vaccines were developed. Many may wonder whether corners have been cut in testing for safety.
This is not the case: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the vaccines have undergone rigorous safety testing, and monitoring for adverse effects will continue.Nonetheless, pervasive safety concerns could dissuade significant numbers from getting vaccinated — delaying the achievement of herd immunity and extending the amount of time that people are at risk of COVID-19.Another issue is access. If getting vaccinated is difficult — due to limited sites of vaccination or issues of cost — this may prevent immunization for many people."

UNWILLING to be vaccinated against COVID-19 =
= would rather wait to see any effects on others.
Do you think enough Transparency have done to build trusts?????
Because people are skeptical about the efficacy and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines.
There has also been a good deal of misinformation circulated on social media, leading to potential mistrust in the safety of vaccines which has been produced and tested in such a short space of time than normal

Dear Dr Arvind Singh! That is a strange unpredictable behavior. First the whole planet was clamoring for a vaccine, now when one is available, they refuse to be jabbed!! Agreed that the vaccine was manufactured at warp speed , but as the whole planet was paralyzed that needed to be done. Now there are all sorts of questions concerning efficacy , safety etc!! Regards--
I think many people are not trust in
the effectiveness and safety of vaccine.

It is human nature that most of us resist to accept and practice change the first time the change is forwarded. So, it needs to give information regarding the change and its degree of significance.
Dear Ijaz Durrani, it is a mysterious human behavior. When peoples are being infected with COVID-19 they do not hesitate to take drugs that are not yet approved, but when approved vaccines are available they are raising their concern about efficacy and safety.
Because still no body is sure about its sucess .in fact they are right not encouraging reports supported till now in my openion ...
Gladly the confidence in R&D is increasing as is the willingness to get jabbed. Please see:

Because of fear from severe allergic reactions and other side effects of vaccine
The Americans are less reluctant now towards a vaccine jab:
