To investigate the associated factors underlying vaccination intentions for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), an online cross-sectional survey was conducted among adults 18 years or over in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Data were collected between 8 and 14 December 2020. A logistic regression analysis was employed to examine and identify the variables associated with vaccination intentions for COVID-19, with the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) also calculated. A total of 2137 respondents completed the questionnaire. Overall, about 48% of Saudi adults were willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Participants had stronger intentions to receive a vaccination if they resided in the southern region (OR: 1.95; 95% CI: 1.21-3.14), received the seasonal influenza vaccination in the past (OR: 1.52; 95% CI: 1.17-1.97), believed in mandatory COVID-19 vaccination (OR: 45.07; 95% CI: 31.91-63.65), or reported high levels of concern about contracting COVID-19 (OR: 1.91; 95% CI: 1.29-2.81). Participants were less likely to have an intention to be vaccinated if they had a history of vaccine refusal (OR: 0.28; 95% CI: 0.19-0.40). The low acceptance rate among the Saudi population should be targeted with multifaceted interventions aimed at raising awareness and emphasizing the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine.
为调查2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫苗接种意愿的相关影响因素，在沙特阿拉伯王国对18岁及以上成年人开展了一项在线横断面调查。数据收集于2020年12月8日至14日期间。采用逻辑回归分析来检验和确定与COVID-19疫苗接种意愿相关的变量，并计算优势比（OR）和95%置信区间（CI）。共有2137名受访者完成了问卷。总体而言，约48%的沙特成年人愿意接种COVID-19疫苗。如果参与者居住在南部地区（OR：1.95；95%CI：1.21 - 3.14）、过去接种过季节性流感疫苗（OR：1.52；95%CI：1.17 - 1.97）、相信COVID-19疫苗强制接种（OR：45.07；95%CI：31.91 - 63.65）或表示对感染COVID-19高度担忧（OR：1.91；95%CI：1.29 - 2.81），那么他们接种疫苗的意愿更强。如果参与者有疫苗接种拒绝史，那么他们接种疫苗的意愿较低（OR：0.28；95%CI：0.19 - 0.40）。沙特人群中较低的接受率应通过多方面干预措施来解决，这些措施旨在提高认识并强调COVID-19疫苗的安全性和有效性。
