Shin, Lee Smith","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-1998674/v1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-1998674/v1","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: To provide a comparative systematic review and meta-analysis of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rates in African countries and their predictors. Methods: : Fifteen studies on COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rate s in African countries were reviewed in the Medline database via PubMed. Meta-analysis investigated the summary effect and inter-study heterogeneity of vaccine acceptance rates and influential factors. Results: : Overall, the COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rate was 71% (95% CI 64-77). As time passed, the vaccine acceptance rate decreased (second half of 2020: 81%, first half of 2021: 67%). Also, the vaccine acceptance rates in urban areas were higher than in rural areas (urban: 82%, rural: 72%). When considering region, vaccine acceptance rates in Eastern and Southern African countries were higher than in Western and North African countries (East: 72%, South: 72%, West: 60%, North: 52%). Finally, factors such as older age, male sex, and wealth were identified as factors associated with a more acceptive attitude toward vaccination. Conclusions: : COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rates demonstrated shifts and was affected by several factors. The rates decreased over time, were lower in rural (vs. urban) settings, and were relatively low in Northern and West African countries (vs. Southern and East African countries). We also found differences in vaccine acceptance rates by some socio-demographic characteristics. Targeting these characteristics, devising strategies to improve vaccine uptake in Africa could help improve vaccination rates.","PeriodicalId":54952,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89257299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For both the analysed products, the category \"Contribution of the sector to economic development\" is marginally affected. Overall, the production of Confetti entails higher medium risk hours regarding some categories (e.g. \"Public sector corruption\", \"Promoting social responsibility\", \"Migration flows\"), whilst for others, it is the Tenerelli that affect the most (e.g. \"Biomass consumption\", \"Trade unionism\"), depending on the different inputs used. Finally, the results are not very influenced by foreground processes, and the social risks are therefore related to upstream processes for both products.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The comparison can become more useful for products of the same or similar functions and the same audience but of different inputs and therefore different supply chains.
