description | Even though COVID-19 vaccinations must be effective and safe to stop the pandemic, vaccine skepticism is growing everywhere. One of the challenges to world health today is vaccine hesitancy, which results from peoples’ refusal to accept the vaccine. The author found that the estimated willingness to accept COVID-19 vaccine was 28.4%. Globally, a people’s perceptions and beliefs may have an impact on how well they accept the COVID-19 vaccine. Peoples who have a negative attitude toward vaccinations may be reluctant to get vaccinated. The author recommends the increasing awareness level of the COVID-19 vaccine to increase the vaccine acceptance rate. Therefore, healthcare workers should provide continuous and updated information on the COVID-19 vaccine to increase the awareness level of the communities. |
