摘要

COVID-19大流行使生物技术在遏制SARS-CoV-2病毒在全球传播方面的作用和贡献发生了范式转变，通过传统或基于现代生物技术的方法生产COVID-19疫苗。目前正在实施国家COVID-19免疫规划的马来西亚已经批准了几种疫苗的有条件注册，供其公民在大流行期间使用，以实现群体免疫的目标水平。因此，本研究旨在评估马来西亚公众对三种不同类型的COVID-19疫苗的认知度、自评知识和态度，即灭活疫苗(如科华)、病毒载体疫苗(如阿斯利康)和mRNA疫苗(如辉瑞)。2021年6月19日至7月2日，通过在线调查平台对马来西亚人进行了一项调查。357名受访者的平均年龄为34.75±10.35岁，67.2%的受访者具有stem相关教育背景。研究结果显示，马来西亚公众对三种新型冠状病毒疫苗的认知度较高，但自评知识水平一般。一般来说，公众对疫苗持积极态度。他们认为所有的疫苗都有很高的好处，从他们的宗教观点来看，这是高度可接受的，这转化为高度采用的意愿。然而，他们承认对疫苗可能存在的风险有一定程度的担忧。这项研究的结果在评估马来西亚社区接受COVID-19疫苗的准备程度方面发挥了重要作用，同时还提供了对目前公众对马来西亚政府协调的疫苗接种工作的态度的见解。关键词:公众意识;自我报告知识;行为意向;COVID-19疫苗;传统的;现代生物技术

KESEDARAN, PENGETAHUAN DAN SIKAP MASYARAKAT AWAM TERHADAP VAKSIN COVID-19 KONVENSIONAL DAN BERASASKAN BIOTEKNOLOGI MODEN DI MALAYSIA (Public Awareness, Knowledge, and Attitude towards Conventional and Modern Biotechnology Based Vaccines in Malaysia)

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a paradigm shift in the role and contribution of biotechnology in curbing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus worldwide with the production of COVID-19 vaccines either through conventional or modern biotechnology-based methods. Malaysia, which is currently running the National COVID-19 Immunization Program, has approved the conditional registration of several types of vaccines for use during pandemic for its citizens to achieve the targeted level of herd immunity. Thus, this study aims to assess the level of public awareness, self-rated knowledge, and attitude towards three different types of COVID-19 vaccines in Malaysia namely inactivated virus vaccines such as Sinovac, viral vector vaccines such as AstraZeneca and mRNA vaccines such as Pfizer. A survey was conducted using an online survey platform on Malaysians from 19 June to 2 July 2021. Of the 357 respondents, the mean age was 34.75 ± 10.35 with 67.2% of them from STEM-related educational background. Results of the study shows that the Malaysian public were highly aware of the three types of COVID-19 vaccines, but their self-rated knowledge was moderate. Generally, the public were positive towards vaccines. They perceived all the vaccines as having high benefits and highly acceptable from their religious point of view which was translated into high intention to adopt. However, they acknowledged moderate worries on the possible risks of the vaccines. The results of this study play an important role in evaluating the readiness of the Malaysian community to adopt COVID-19 vaccines besides providing an insight into the current attitude of the public towards the vaccination efforts coordinated by the Malaysian government.
