Introduction
'e outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in China in late 2019 has posed major public health and governance challenges as a worldwide pandemic emerged. 'e COVID-19 pandemic has caused millions of people to be infected and die. 'e pandemic has also deteriorated population mental health. Specifically, the risks of morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19 raised the fear about one’s own health and the health of their families. Besides, the economic turmoil caused by the pandemic pushed many individuals to the brink of joblessness, which could be psychologically devastating to them [1, 2]. In the USA, it is documented that as the pandemic severity proxied by the mortality rate is negatively associated with public mental health [3]. Compared to the Chinese, Americans tend to report more stress and depressive symptoms, which could potentially be attributed to their high number of infected healthcare workers, the lack of personal protective equipment, and the risk of losing health insurance tied to their employment [4]. In order to resolve the COVID-19 pandemic, attempts to produce vaccines have been made since early 2020 and the US Congress set aside billions of dollars for this purpose [5]. As a result, two series of vaccines, the Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, were successfully developed and granted emergency use authorization in December 2020. Mass vaccination in the USA immediately began in late 2020. 'is study evaluates the extent to which COVID-19 vaccination affects public mental health in the context of the USA. 'e study makes two contributions to the literature. First, I analyze the less tangible impacts of COVID-19 vaccination, particularly, the impact on mental health, whereas other studies tend to concentrate on the visible impacts such as those on infection, hospitalization, and death. By doing so, this study provides additional scientific evidence on the relationship between pandemic-related interventions and public welfare.
