摘要

导言:疫苗犹豫已成为世卫组织确定的主要全球健康威胁之一,可能不利于控制大流行的努力。疫苗供应经常中断,加上犹豫不决,可导致免疫覆盖率低于预期。评估影响接受、延迟或拒绝的行为决定的因素对于扩大疫苗接种至关重要。目的:估计印度北部受教育阶层COVID-19疫苗接种的延误及其决定因素。方法:在印度362名18岁以上的成年人中,对教师及其家庭成员、近亲和朋友进行了一项在线横断面观察性研究,使用纳入kobo工具箱的结构化问卷,其中寻求研究对象中有关疫苗接种犹豫的信息。结果:目前的研究显示43%的参与者完全没有接种疫苗。推迟或不接种疫苗的最常见障碍包括对副作用的担忧、对疫苗有效性的怀疑。结论:风险沟通和疫苗宣传应量身定制,以消除公众的所有疑虑和关切,反击错误信息,这将有助于解决这一巨大的疫苗接种缺口。

Hesitation, Delays and Barriers towards COVID-19 Vaccination among Educated Class in Northern India
Introduction: Vaccine hesitancy has emerged as one of the leading global health threats as identified by WHO, that may be detrimental to efforts to control the pandemic. Frequent interruptions in the vaccine supply clubbed with hesitancy can result in lower immunization coverage than expected. Assessing factors influencing the behavioural decision to accept, delay or reject is imperative in scaling-up the vaccine uptake. Objectives: To estimate the delay and its determinants towards COVID-19 vaccination among educated class in Northern India. Method: An online cross-sectional, observational study was conducted among teachers and their family members, close relatives and friends across India among 362 adults aged 18 years or more using structured questionnaire incorporated into kobo toolbox wherein information pertaining to vaccination hesitancy among study subjects was sought. Results: The present study revealed 43% of participants were totally unvaccinated. Most common barriers towards delayed or non-vaccination included apprehension about the side effects, doubts regarding vaccine effectiveness. Conclusion: Risk communication and vaccine advocacy should be tailor-made in a manner to dispel all doubts and concerns of the general public and counter the misinformation, which will help in addressing this huge vaccination gap.
