BACKGROUND
Scientists across the world are working on innovating a successful vaccine that will save lives and end COVID-19 pandemic. World Health Organization (WHO) is working to make sure COVID-19 vaccines can be safely delivered to all those who need them. Indeed, the successful deployment and a sufficient uptake of vaccines is equally important. Acceptance and accessibility of such vaccine is a key indicator of vaccination coverage.
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to assess the determinants of intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine among school teachers in Gondar City.
METHODS
An institution based cross-sectional study was conducted from December, 2020 to January, 2021. A total of 301 school teachers selected using stratified simple random sampling were included. Descriptive analysis such as medians, means, proportions, standard deviations and frequencies were computed. Linear regression analysis was done to identify factors associated with intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine. A p-value of less than 0.05 was used to declare statistical significance.
RESULTS
The median intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine was 3.33 with interquartile range of 2.67-4.0. Of the participants 54.8% had scored above the median of intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine score. 54% variance in intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine was explained by the independent variables. Being affiliated with other category of religion, bachelor degree educational status, perceived susceptibility, perceived benefit, perceived barrier, and cues to action were significantly associated with the intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine.
CONCLUSION
The median score of intention to receive COVID-19 vaccine was 3.33. Socio-demographic and health beliefs influenced the intention to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in the study participant. Policy makers and stakeholders should focus on strong health promotion about risks of the pandemic, benefit, safety, and efficacy of vaccination.
背景
世界各地的科学家都在致力于创新一种成功的疫苗，以拯救生命并结束 COVID-19 大流行。世界卫生组织（WHO）正在努力确保 COVID-19 疫苗能够安全地提供给所有需要的人。事实上，疫苗的成功部署和充分接种同样重要。这种疫苗的接受程度和可及性是接种覆盖率的一个关键指标。
目的
本研究旨在评估贡德尔市学校教师接受 COVID-19 疫苗的意愿的决定因素。
方法
这是一项 2020 年 12 月至 2021 年 1 月期间进行的基于机构的横断面研究。总共选择了 301 名使用分层简单随机抽样的学校教师。计算了中位数、均值、比例、标准差和频率等描述性分析。进行线性回归分析以确定与接受 COVID-19 疫苗意愿相关的因素。使用 p 值<0.05 表示具有统计学意义。
结果
接受 COVID-19 疫苗的意愿中位数为 3.33，四分位距为 2.67-4.0。在参与者中，54.8%的人的接受 COVID-19 疫苗意愿得分高于中位数。接受 COVID-19 疫苗的意愿的 54%方差由自变量解释。与其他宗教类别有关联、拥有学士学位教育程度、感知易感性、感知益处、感知障碍和提示行动与接受 COVID-19 疫苗的意愿显著相关。
结论
接受 COVID-19 疫苗的意愿中位数为 3.33。社会人口统计学和健康信念因素影响了研究参与者接受 COVID-19 疫苗的意愿。政策制定者和利益相关者应重点关注关于大流行风险、益处、安全性和疫苗效力的强大健康宣传。
