Despite the global surge in the Corona virus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, people's efforts to combat the pandemic have been insufficient. The world has experienced a number of challenges in terms of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Therefore, understanding the community's willingness to receive the vaccine will aid in the creation and implementation of effective COVID-19 immunization. As a result, the aim of this study was to assess the magnitude of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and associated factors among adults in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
A community-based cross-sectional study with 419 household heads was undertaken in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. To identify factors associated with the outcome and independent variables, bi-variable and multi-variable logistic regression analyses were used. A 95% confidence interval and a p-value of less than 0.05 were deemed sufficient to declare a significant association.
The level of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance was 46.3 % (95 % CI: 43.87-48.73). Moreover, age groups above 58 years (AOR = 0.38, 95: CI: 0.17, 0.84), chronic disease (AOR: 2.09, 95 % CI: 1.28-3.42), a positive attitude (AOR: 1.64, 95 % CI: 1.29-2.04), being a Muslim (AOR: 0.36, 95 % CI: 0.19-0.71) and social support (AOR: 1.7, 95 % CI: 1.04-2.79) were all significantly related to COVID-19 vaccine acceptance.
The findings of this study revealed a lower rate of COVID-19 vaccination acceptance. Age, chronic disease, attitude, and social support were significant predictors of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Therefore, emphasis should be given for community mobilization, especially for the elderly, those with limited social engagement, and those who have a negative attitude toward COVID-19 vaccination.
尽管冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行在全球范围内激增，但人们抗击疫情的努力仍显不足。在COVID-19疫苗接种接受度方面，世界面临诸多挑战。因此，了解社区接种疫苗的意愿将有助于制定和实施有效的COVID-19免疫计划。因此，本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴成年人中COVID-19疫苗的接受程度及相关因素。
在埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴对419名户主进行了一项基于社区的横断面研究。为了确定与结果和自变量相关的因素，采用了双变量和多变量逻辑回归分析。95%置信区间和p值小于0.05被认为足以表明存在显著关联。
COVID-19疫苗的接受率为46.3%（95%CI：43.87-48.73）。此外，58岁以上年龄组（调整后比值比[AOR]=0.38，95%CI：0.17，0.84）、慢性病（AOR：2.09，95%CI：1.28-3.42）、积极态度（AOR：1.64，95%CI：1.29-2.04）、穆斯林身份（AOR：0.36，95%CI：0.19-0.71）和社会支持（AOR：1.7，95%CI：1.04-2.79）均与COVID-19疫苗接受度显著相关。
本研究结果显示COVID-19疫苗接种接受率较低。年龄、慢性病、态度和社会支持是COVID-19疫苗接受度的重要预测因素。因此，应重点进行社区动员，尤其是针对老年人、社会参与有限者以及对COVID-19疫苗接种持消极态度者。
