A relative handful of Americans have received the vaccine to protect against the novel coronavirus. But according to HuffPost, it's unclear if those lucky few can still pass along the virus to others, even if they themselves aren't infected. Likewise, it's important to remember that even after getting the jab, it takes the body at least a month to build up its immunity to COVID-19. Therefore, it's essential to continue following proven public health measures, like universal masking, handwashing, and physical distancing. Experts say Americans shouldn't start to relax on observing these measures until roughly 70% of the population has been vaccinated.
A new analysis published Thursday by the journal PLOS ONE reveals the personality traits that encourage compliance with COVID-19 guidelines. Careful and diligent' people are 31% more likely to follow measures designed to contain the spread of COVID-19 than those who don't have these traits. Likewise, those with 'strong cooperative values and a preference for positive interpersonal relationships' are 17% more likely to comply. Conversely, 'assertive, dominant, energetic, active, talkative, impulsive and enthusiastic"' extraverts are 7% less likely to comply than introverts. Understanding which traits encourage or discourage social distancing and mask-wearing can help governments implement health programs more effectively.
