Introduction Although vaccination is the most effective way to end the COVID-19 pandemic, there are growing concerns that vaccine hesitancy may undermine its effectiveness. In Ethiopia, vaccine hesitancy forms a major challenge to the uptake of COVID-19 vaccines. This systematic review examined the prevalence and determinants of the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among the Ethiopian population. Methods A systematic search of articles was conducted in PubMed, EBSCO, Google Scholar, and Semantic Scholar. Studies that evaluated the prevalence and determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Ethiopia were included. The identified determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy were analyzed based on the frequency of occurrence in the included studies. Results The overall COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy level in the Ethiopian population ranged from 14.1% to 68.7%. The high COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy rate observed in this study was due to contextual factors, individual factors, and vaccine-specific factors. Young age, female sex, living in rural areas, lack of adequate information, and lower education are the most common contextual determinants of the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Lack of awareness about the COVID-19 vaccine, low risk of COVID-19, poor adherence to COVID-19 prevention strategies, and negative attitude towards the COVID-19 vaccine are the most frequently reported personal factors. Common vaccine-specific determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitation are the side effects of the vaccine and doubts about its effectiveness of the vaccine. Conclusion Our review showed that COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy remains highly prevalent and varied across regions of Ethiopia, with a wide variety of factors associated with it. Potential interventions on the benefits of vaccination and the adverse effects of vaccine rejection are crucial to enhance COVID-19 vaccine uptake among the Ethiopian population.

“…The risks of the vaccine are greater than its benefits. Such findings were greater than the studies conducted in America, Ethiopia, Greece, and Palestine [21,22,23,24], which confirmed that the rate of willingness to accept the vaccine was 36%, 53.1%, 51.1%, 37.8% and respectively. Several reasons might back behind such positive behavior of Iraqi HCPs, including the period of collecting information, the availability of several types of vaccines, the steady increase in morbidity and mortality rates due to successive waves of the pandemic, and the absence of effective treatment for coronavirus except for the vaccine.…”

“…Although the study of perceived risk was not a target of our study, however, we found that the HCPs who had been infected with COVID-19 and those who engaged in the management of patients with COVID-19, and those who had lost a close relative due to COVID-19 showed 4.119, 3.962 and 5.698-times likelihood intention to accept the vaccination compared to their counterparts, respectively. Similar studies in Ethiopia [22] and France [26] indicated that acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine among health professionals was associated with fear of COVID-19 and perceived risk of infection.…”

Background: International efforts to confront the COVID-19 pandemic are joining forces by accelerating the pace of vaccination. This study aims to explore the attitude and the intent to get vaccinated against COVID-19 among healthcare providers (HCPs) in Iraq. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in January 2021 using web-based facilities to access the respondents. The data were collected through a semi-structured and self-administered questionnaire, including sociodemographic and close-ended questions related to attitude and intention toward COVID-19 vaccination. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression were recruited to predict variables. The statistical significance is considered at less than 0.05. Results: Data of 209 HCPs with a mean age of 45.12 (± 6.37) years have undergone final analysis. Most of the HCPs were males (112, 53.6%) and nurses (110, 52.6%), who had close contact (64.6%) with COVID-19 patients, and forty percent have been infected with COVID-19. Overall, 115 HCPs (58.0%) reported intention to get vaccinated compared to 94 (42.0%) who declined vaccination. Variables associated with intention to get vaccinated among HCPs were high attitude toward COVID-19 vaccination (odds ratio (OR) = 1.740, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.799, 3.786), aged less than 45 years (OR = 3.713; 95% CI: 1.647, 8.367), married (OR = 2.155; 95% CI: 0.984, 4.720), highly educated (OR = 2.657; 95% CI: 1.202, 5.871), doctors (OR = 3.153; 95% CI: 1.428, 6.963), contracted with COVID-19 (OR = 4.119; 95% CI: 1.623, 10.455), directly engaged in management of COVID-19 patients (OR = 3.962; 95% CI: 1.569, 10.005), and had lost a close relative due to COVID-19 (OR = 5.698; 95% CI: 1.506, 12.564). Conclusion: The urgent need to improve the COVID-19 vaccine uptake rates among Iraqis requires a positive attitude and a high vaccination rate among HCPs.

“…A COVID-19 vaccine may cause side effects corresponding to signs and symptoms of COVID-19. If nurses have been exposed to COVID-19 and develop symptoms more than 3 days after acquiring vaccinated or the symptoms last more than two days, self-isolate and acquire tested (Shruti, et al2021, andAhmed, et al, 2021) The nurses are considered Healthcare professionals so the nurses are among the first group to get an immunization. Therefore it is imperative to consider their experience of vaccinated nurses with COVID-19 vaccination which is the way better to address their experience including their suffering, side effects, and benefits of immunization especially after the first dose of COVID-19 immunization (Williams, 2021).…”

Background:The nurses are among the front lines of exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic and have been identified as a priority target group that needs to receive COVID-19 vaccines. However, the evaluation of their experience with COVID-19 Vaccination and the relationship between their experience and their age to receive the vaccine still matters in the prevalence of COVID-19 vaccines especially among nurses due to their experience after receiving the vaccine and their age. So the study was aimed to evaluate the experience of vaccinated nurses with COVID-19 vaccination and find out the relationship between the experience of vaccinated nurses with COVID-19 vaccination and their age. Design: A cross-sectional descriptive research design. Setting: The study was applied in Al Salam International Hospital and Al Mabarrah Hospital in Port Said city. Subjects: This study was covered all vaccinated nurses (96) working in an intensive care unit (ICU), an emergency care department, female and male internal medicine, surgery departments, orthopedic surgery, oncology surgery department, Selathemia blood diseases department, Theater Room, blood bank department in Al Salam International Hospital and Al Mabarrah Hospital. The data was collected using 1 tool; the "Structured questionnaire sheet" which is consisted of 42 questions related to sociodemographic characteristics, and experience of vaccinated nurses with COVID-19 vaccination after the first dose. Results: This study indicated that there is not any statistically significant relationship between nurses' age and nurses' experiences with COVID-19 vaccination after the first dose of vaccination concerning side effects affected on general health status, symptoms or side effects at site injection of vaccination, and self-care regarding relieving symptoms or side effects resulted from vaccination except in one item related to nurses' feeling of redness at the injection site where P-value less than 0.05. Conclusion: It can be concluded from the results of the present study that there are side effects after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine which can be controlled by self-care without going to the physician. There is a minor negative impact on general health status after receiving the first dose of COVID-19 vaccination, but it is not serious adverse events and there is no relationship between nurses' experience and their age. Recommendations: Evaluation of impact of second dose of COVID-19 vaccines on the nurses' health status, and development and implementation of continuous evaluation concerning vaccinated nurses and physicians in all hospitals after the second dose at Port Said City.
