摘要

当前COVID-19全球大流行是一项国际威胁。自大流行爆发以来,安全有效的COVID-19感染疫苗一直是全球卫生保健机构的愿望清单。由于疫苗的开发过程需要在各个阶段进行临床试验,对其安全性、效力和有效性进行多次检查,因此其上市存在固有的延迟。考虑到全球疫苗接种的迫切需要,目前接种的疫苗是在短时间内试验开发的,因此是人口关注的问题。因此,本研究旨在评估印度喀拉拉邦对疫苗接种的接受程度和关注程度。方法采用横断面在线问卷调查方法。目标人群为年龄≥18岁的个体。问卷分为两部分。第一部分包括有关年龄、性别、教育程度和职业等个人资料的问题。第二部分包括10个问题,以评估对COVID-19感染接种疫苗的意愿和担忧。结果最终样本量为314名参与者。92%以上的人表示他们了解疫苗接种指南。约42%的人报告通过印刷媒体获得了疫苗接种知识,55%的人通过社交媒体获得了疫苗接种知识。在84%愿意接种疫苗或已经接种疫苗的人中,39%表示愿意接种疫苗,因为他们相信政府的宣传活动。在不愿接种疫苗的16%中,86%的人担心疫苗的副作用/不良反应,56%的人担心疫苗的有效性。结论:该研究揭示了在研究人群中接受疫苗接种的良好水平。对疫苗的主要关注包括不良反应和疗效。研究人群对疫苗接种持积极态度。

Acceptance and concerns regarding COVID-19 vaccine in Kerala, India
INTRODUCTION The current global pandemic of COVID-19 is an international threat. A safe and effective vaccine for COVID-19 infection has been on the wish list of healthcare agencies across the globe since the onset of the pandemic. As the process of development of vaccine demands clinical trials across various phases for multiple checks concerning its safety, potency, and efficacy, there is an inherent delay in its launch. Considering the immediate need for global vaccination, the currently administered vaccines have been developed with a short period of testing and hence is a matter of concern among the population. Thus, this study was conducted to assess the acceptance and concerns regarding the vaccinations in the Indian state of Kerala. METHODS The study was a cross-sectional questionnairebased survey conducted online. The target population was individuals aged ≥18 years. The questionnaire was divided into two parts. The first part consisted of questions on personal data such as age, gender, education level, and occupation. The second part consisted of 10 questions to assess the willingness and concerns regarding vaccination for COVID-19 infection. RESULTS The final sample size comprised 314 participants. Over 92% indicated that they were aware of the vaccination guidelines. About 42% reported to have received knowledge about vaccination through printed media and 55% through social media. Among the 84% who were willing to take vaccination or already vaccinated, 39% expressed their willingness to get vaccinated due to their trust in the government’s awareness campaigns. Among 16% unwilling to take the vaccine, 86% were anxious about the side effects/ adverse reactions of the vaccine, and 56% were anxious regarding the effectiveness of the vaccine. CONCLUSIONS The study reveals a good level of acceptance regarding vaccination acceptance among the population studied. The predominant concerns regarding the vaccine included adverse reactions and efficacy. The study population demonstrated a positive attitude towards vaccination.
