“…Vaccination readiness has received considerable attention in research; however, the research focus has been limited to specific populations such as medical health workers, medical/nursing students, 9 and those with comorbidities. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Recent studies on the general public have revealed that COVID-19 vaccine uptake varies significantly among nations. 19 These studies found that between 63% and 92.33% of people were willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.…”

Background: Despite vaccinations' efficacy in combating disease, people's readiness to get the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine are substantially varied. This study aimed to assess Vietnamese people's readiness, attitudes, and determinants for COVID-19 vaccination. Methods: A web-based cross-sectional online survey was conducted using a convenience sampling approach. The Vietnamese population's readiness to receive COVID-19 vaccinations was assessed using the 7C of vaccination readiness scale (7Cs). The scale was posted on Facebook and Zalo platforms. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and inferential analysis was applied to identify determinants predicting respondents' vaccine readiness. Results: Of the 1086 respondents invited to the study, 1026 completed the questionnaire. The Vietnamese population demonstrated a moderate level of readiness for COVID-19 vaccination uptake, with an average 7Cs score of 103.25±15.13. A high level was underscored in the complacency, constraints, collective responsibility, and compliance components, and a low level was reported in the calculation component. The Vietnamese population emphasized that the awareness of the significant adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccination was the primary factor influencing their readiness to get the vaccine (p < 0.001). Worrying about the vaccine manufacturer and its origin was the second most crucial factor influencing their readiness to get the vaccine (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Building confidence between people and the Vietnamese authorities is a high priority to enhance people's readiness to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The authorities should focus on dispelling disinformation posted on social media and promoting the usefulness of COVID-19 vaccines.

Recently, more studies were conducted on the general population.…”

Vaccination is likely the solution for helping bring the pandemic under control when combine with other prevention measures. Understanding and measuring the general population's readiness to take COVID-19 vaccines is needed to facilitate an effective vaccination program.Objectives: This study was conducted to assess the readiness of the public toward COVID-19 vaccination in Vietnam based on seven components of vaccination readiness (7Cs) and investigate the factors affecting the readiness to receive these vaccines. Methods: The 7Cs of vaccination readiness scale (7Cs) was used in the study. The questionnaire was distributed via social media platforms to collect the data.Results: A total of 1026 participants were included. The presented study reflected a medium score of readiness toward COVID-19 vaccination among Vietnamese (average score of 7Cs was 103.25 ± 15.13) although 71.9% of the participants have already received at least one dose or booked to receive the first dose. Several predictors were found to hinder their readiness of COVID-19 taking vaccines including the level of agreement level with some common reasons for not taking COVID-19 vaccines (including awareness of the instances of death or serious adverse effects, the concern of the manufacturer or place of origin, waiting for a better vaccine, confused by different information of the vaccines, don't believe in the advice of the government regarding the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19-vaccines), how COVID-19 affects one’s health, and the effectiveness of vaccines in reducing the severity and complications of COVID-19. Conclusion: Findings reported a medium score of readiness toward COVID-19 vaccinations. Based on the based on seven components of vaccination readiness, it is suggested that the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination programs can be improved by focusing on correcting the misinformation and promoting the efficacy of COVID-19.
