To establish the impact of "Covid-19 Vaccination express" (CVE) on vaccine uptake in Malawi.
Retrospective cross-sectional study to compare the daily vaccine administration rate in CVE and routine covid vaccination (RCV). RCV data was collected from March 2021 to October 2021. The data regarding CVE was collected from 5 November 2021 to 31 December 2021. Data was collected regarding (1) the total number and type of vaccine doses administered and (2) Demographic details like age, gender, occupation, presence of comorbidities, the first dose, or the second dose of the people who received a vaccine.
From March-December 2021, a total of 1,866,623 COVID-19 vaccine doses were administered, out of which 1,290,145 doses were administered at a mean daily vaccination rate of 1854 (95 % CI: 1292-2415) doses as a part of RCV, and 576,478 doses were administered at a mean daily vaccination rate of 3312 (95 % CI: 2377-4248) doses as a part of CVE. Comparing the mean daily doses (Astra Zeneca, AZ doses 1 & 2) administered in the CVE and RCV showed that the mean daily doses of AZ vaccine administered were significantly higher in the CVE (p < 0.05).
CVE successfully increased the uptake of the Covid-19 vaccine.
评估“Covid-19 疫苗快速接种”（CVE）对马拉维疫苗接种率的影响。
回顾性横断面研究，比较 CVE 和常规新冠疫苗接种（RCV）的每日疫苗接种率。RCV 数据收集于 2021 年 3 月至 2021 年 10 月。CVE 数据收集于 2021 年 11 月 5 日至 2021 年 12 月 31 日。数据收集内容包括：（1）接种的疫苗总剂量和类型；（2）接种者的人口统计学细节，如年龄、性别、职业、是否存在合并症、首剂或第二剂疫苗接种情况。
2021 年 3 月至 12 月期间，共接种了 1866623 剂新冠疫苗，其中 1290145 剂作为 RCV 的一部分，平均每日接种率为 1854 剂（95%CI：1292-2415），576478 剂作为 CVE 的一部分，平均每日接种率为 3312 剂（95%CI：2377-4248）。比较 CVE 和 RCV 中阿斯利康（AZ）疫苗 1 剂和 2 剂的平均每日剂量（Astra Zeneca, AZ doses 1 & 2），发现 CVE 中 AZ 疫苗的平均每日接种剂量明显更高（p<0.05）。
CVE 成功提高了新冠疫苗的接种率。
