During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, numerous factors determined the performance of COVID-19 vaccination coverage. The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of factors such as government stewardship, planning and implementation, and community participation on COVID-19 vaccination coverage. This study applied partial least square structured equation modeling (PLS-SEM) by analyzing 187 responses from the stakeholders involved in vaccination programs in four select states of India. This study empirically validates a framework for improving vaccination coverage by confirming the significant impact of planning and implementation on vaccination coverage followed by government stewardship and community participation. Additionally, this study highlights the individual impact of each factor on vaccination coverage. Based on the findings, strategic recommendations were proposed that can be utilized for formulating policy-level actions to facilitate the vaccination program.
在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行期间,众多因素决定了COVID-19疫苗接种覆盖率的表现。本研究的目的是检验政府管理、规划与实施以及社区参与等因素对COVID-19疫苗接种覆盖率的影响。本研究通过分析印度四个选定邦参与疫苗接种计划的利益相关者的187份回复,应用了偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)。本研究通过确认规划与实施对疫苗接种覆盖率的显著影响,其次是政府管理和社区参与,从实证角度验证了一个提高疫苗接种覆盖率的框架。此外,本研究还突出了每个因素对疫苗接种覆盖率的个体影响。基于研究结果,提出了战略建议,可用于制定政策层面的行动以推动疫苗接种计划。
