FACTORS INFLUENCING THE UPTAKE OF COVID-19 VACCINE

WHO identified this severe form of pneumonia caused by a new corona virus leading to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on December 31, 2019 in Wuhan, China. Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is a respiratory disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).COVID-19 disease is believed to be transmitted primarily through contact with respiratory droplets produced by infected people, and its clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic cases and mild upper respiratory tract infections, to cases of pneumonia and severe respiratory failure and death. Globally, the new coronavirus has infected nearly 132 million people. Vaccination is an important strategy to control the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants who agreed or strongly believed they had some immunity to COVID-19 were also significantly less likely to accept the vaccine. Participants with a history of vaccine hesitancy for their children were also significantly less likely to accept the COVID-19 vaccine.
