Doubt it. Most people understand and believe vaccines are effective, they just don't bother. Antivaxxes (the morons who don't believe vaccines actually works) are actually not the majority of unvaccinated people: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/31/us/virus-unvaccinated-americans.html
Only 37% answered to not believe in vaccines
Most of people just feel like they don't need it because they are young, healthy and because they find more bothersome to take a shot in the arms than to fall under the smaller number of odds of getting a severe disease (as most of cases are asymptomatic). There are also ones who understand getting vaccinated as some sort of political statement yikes
Ultimately, there isn't any sense of community os responsibility in big societies, this only works in small groups of people. Ultimately people will choose whatever feels more convenient for themselves, people are more afraid of getting an arm sore for a couple of hours (53% answered they are afraid of "side effect") than Covid that's nothing really to be done
For instance, overall USA citzens are far more educated than brazilians citzens (USA scored 0.9 in education IDH, Brazil scored 0.69). Yet despite being poorer and starting our vaccination campaign much later we already surpassed the number of vaccinated people with at least one shot and overall numbers are increasingly in a fast pace. So is really education correlated with vaccination rate? I'm forced to disagree
