During COVID-19, quick advancements were made in the field of vaccines, which brought about the growth of several controversies about the safety of vaccines. Under the shadow of those controversies, we hypothesize that those who took vaccines could be higher risk takers and more pro-social as they took the vaccine decision to protect themselves and others. This study helps us determine "The Risk-taking Behaviour, Prosocial Behaviour, and Vaccination Hesitancy among Adults Who Took the Second and Booster Dose of the COVID-19 Vaccine". Purposive sampling was used to collect responses from 313 persons aged 18 to 40 on the vaccination hesitancy scale, prosocialness scale, and risk-taking scale, respectively. We conducted descriptive statistics, Spearman's correlation, the Mann-Whitney U test, and regression analysis. Results showed that there was no significant relationship between vaccine hesitancy and various doses of vaccines, and also no relationship between vaccine hesitancy and prosociality among adults who took multiple doses of vaccines; Interestingly, there was a negative relationship between vaccine hesitancy and risk-taking behaviour among adults who took various doses of vaccines. There was a negative relationship between vaccine hesitancy and the first dose; there is no significant relationship between vaccine hesitancy and subsequent vaccine doses.
