“…Regarding our findings with respect to the dimensions of the HBM, vaccine acceptance may be related to respondents' perceived susceptibility to COVID-19, perceived benefits of the vaccine, fewer perceived barriers of receiving the vaccine, and cues to action from doctors, family, and friends. These observations are supported by other studies' findings about influenza vaccination acceptance in Bangladesh and elsewhere [43,53,68,70]. For instance, in a study of the capital city of Bangladesh, residents were likely to vaccinate themselves and others if they were concerned about being infected by the virus [21].…”

“…Regarding our study's high prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine intentions, this finding is generally consistent with other observations. Similarly, high vaccine acceptance rates have been noticed among the general population of India (89.3%), healthcare workers in Kuwait (83.3%), Australian citizens, Israeli adults, the general population of France (77.6%), pregnant women of China (77.4%), and French healthcare workers (76.9%) [9,32,[42][43][44][45][46][47].…”

Determinants of COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance among the Adult Population of Bangladesh Using the Health Belief Model and the Theory of Planned Behavior Model

Vaccination is undoubtedly one of the most effective strategies to halt the COVID-19 pandemic. The current study aimed to investigate the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination and its associated factors using two health behavior change frameworks: the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). A total of 639 Bangladeshi adults (mean age: 24 years) participated in a cross-sectional online study between July and August 2021. The questionnaire covered questions regarding vaccine intentions, sociodemographic features, health status, perceived trust in/satisfaction with health authorities, reasons for vaccine hesitancy, and factors related to the health behavior change frameworks. Hierarchical logistic regression was employed to determine associations between these predictors and vaccine acceptance. The intention to get a COVID-19 vaccination was expressed among 85% of the participants. In fully adjusted models, students and respondents with more normal body weights reported higher intentions to get vaccinated. Respondents were also more likely to seek vaccination if they reported greater levels of perceived susceptibility, benefits, and cues to action, as well as lower levels of barriers and self-efficacy. Fear of future vaccine side effects was the most common reason for COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and was expressed by 94% of the vaccine-hesitant respondents. These factors should be considered by health authorities in Bangladesh and perhaps other countries when addressing the plateauing COVID-19 vaccination rates in many populations.

“…In contrast to China and Taiwan, India had a large outbreak of COVID-19 during data collection. Our study showed high vaccine acceptance, in line with other studies (e.g., ~90% vaccine acceptance according to Goruntla et al [21]). In our study, individuals from India with a personal COVID-19 diagnosis had signi cantly higher vaccination intent, and higher, though not signi cant, risk perceptions.…”

Background The COVID-19 pandemic presents an opportunity to assess the impact of personal experiences on vaccine decision-making. The aim of this study was to examine the associations between experiences with COVID-19 and intention to vaccinate against COVID-19. Methods We administered 28 repeated cross-sectional, online surveys between June 2020 and June 2021 in the US and Asia. The main exposures were three types of experiences: COVID-19 diagnosis, knowing a friend/family member with COVID-19, and exposures to media containing COVID-19 patients. A series of logistic regression models estimated the association between each experience and acceptance of a hypothetical COVID-19 vaccine. We also explored perceived susceptibility as a potential mediator. Results Intent to vaccinate was lowest in the US and Taiwan, and highest in India, Indonesia, and China. Personal diagnosis with COVID-19 had the greatest impact on intentions to vaccinate across country sites compared to those who experienced a friend or family member diagnosed with COVID-19 or exposures to personal stories reported through media. In India participants that reported a personal diagnosis with COVID-19 had 12.95 times the odds (95% CI: 4.89, 34.28) of accepting a COVID-19 vaccine compared to those with no diagnosis. Higher risk perceptions were associated with higher intention to vaccinate against COVID-19. Conclusions Proximity and seriousness of experiences are influential factors for intention to vaccinate against COVID-19. This study highlights the numerous ways in which pandemic experiences may influence intention to vaccinate against COVID-19 across geographies and cultures, where the course of the pandemic differed.

“…There have also been recent efforts to approve additional vaccines (such as Sputnik V and Moderna) to help meet the potential demand for vaccination in India. With the exception of Goruntla et al (2021) and Kumari et al (2021), however, there is virtually no information on attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs related to the COVID-19 vaccine in India. This is particularly pressing given the scale at which vaccination is proposed in India as well as past indications of low adult vaccination rates in India (Dash et al, 2020).…”

India witnessed a large surge in COVID-19 cases in April 2021, a second wave of nearly 350,000 daily new infections across the country. As of December 2021, cases have reduced drastically, in part due to greater vaccine coverage across the country. This study reports results on vaccine hesitancy, attitudes, and behaviors from an online survey conducted between February and March 2021 in nine Indian cities (N = 518). We find that vaccine hesitancy negatively predicts willingness to take the vaccine, and beliefs about vaccine effectiveness supersede hesitancy in explaining vaccine uptake. Furthermore, we find that mask-wearing and handwashing beliefs, information sources related to COVID-19, and past COVID-19 infection and testing status are all strongly associated with the hypothetical choice of vaccine. We discuss these findings in the context of behavioral theories as well as outline implications for vaccinerelated health communication in India.
