“…A large number of studies conducted in behavioural sciences in the last 2 years focused on identifying sociodemographic, psychological and situational variables related to undertaking preventive behaviours and compliance with COVID-19 recommendations (e.g., Refs. 7 – 20 ). Although our knowledge about the factors related to preventive behaviours during pandemic has increased considerably, the main limitation of existing studies is that they mostly focus on specific variables and are rarely based on health behaviour theories 21 , 22 .…”

To protect themselves from COVID-19, people follow the recommendations of the authorities, but they also resort to placebos. To stop the virus, it is important to understand the factors underlying both types of preventive behaviour. This study examined whether our model (developed based on the Health Belief Model and the Transactional Model of Stress) can explain participation in WHO-recommended and placebo actions during the pandemic. Model was tested on a sample of 3346 participants from Italy, Japan, Poland, Korea, Sweden, and the US. It was broadly supported: objective risk and cues to action showed both direct and indirect (through perceived threat) associations with preventive behaviours. Moreover, locus of control, decision balance, health anxiety and preventive coping moderated these relationships. Numerous differences were also found between countries. We conclude that beliefs about control over health and perceived benefits of actions are critical to the development of interventions to improve adherence to recommendations.

Background of the study: With the roll out of vaccines in Edo state and the increasing number of cases of infections, it has become imperative to investigate residents’ awareness and perception of the Corona virus vaccine in order to understand the willingness and readiness of the public to accept vaccines in Benin City. Purpose: The study investigates Benin City residents’ awareness and perception of COVID19 vaccination. Method: A descriptive survey was adopted for the research. The study setting is the Benin metropolis. A sample of 400 respondents was drawn randomly from the resident population for the research from three local government areas that make up the Benin metropolis. Findings: The study found that social media is the most important source of awareness on COVID 19 vaccination, the perception of COVID 19 vaccination is poor among Benin city residents, the willingness to participate in the COVID19 vaccination is poor and factors affecting COVID19 vaccinations among Benin city residents are the systems factors of government and the healthcare system and personal doubts about vaccinations Conclusion: It is evident that the poor perception is a stumbling block to the acceptance of the COVID 19 vaccines and may derive attempts to reach herd immunity in Benin City.
