“…The comparator study was, however, conducted in the early stages of vaccination rollout in Pakistan, a period when the vaccine supply was a critical challenge, which might explain the difference. The prevalence recorded in the present study is lower than that of several vaccine acceptance studies in slum communities of Bangladesh (72–93%) [ 25 ], India (79%) [ 42 ], and Brazil (66.6%) [ 20 ]. These studies assessed willingness to get vaccinated, but not actual vaccination uptake, which is hindered by various barriers and dynamics regardless of the willingness, thus the observed low prevalence in our study.…”

“…Residents of informal settlements live in crowded places where social distancing is hardly possible [ 22 , 23 , 24 ]. In addition, fresh clean water and sanitation for handwashing/hygiene are not easily accessible, and with the low income, buying face masks is also an extra economic burden [ 23 , 24 , 25 ]. The pandemic worsened the already poor access to health-care services among slum residents in Uganda due to movement restrictions and loss of income/employment [ 26 ].…”

Vaccination against COVID-19 remains one of the ultimate solutions to the ongoing pandemic. This study examined and compared the completion of primary COVID-19 vaccination series and associated factors in the slum and estate communities of Uganda. This was a cross-sectional survey conducted among 1025 slum and estate residents. Logistic regression models were fitted. Of the 1025 participants, 511 were slum residents and 514 were estate residents. Completion of COVID-19 vaccination was 43.8% in the slum community and 39.9% in the estate community (p = 0.03). Having more knowledge about COVID-19 was positively associated with completing COVID-19 vaccination in both communities. Perceived benefits and cues to action also had a positive association, but only among the slum residents. However, perceiving people infected with COVID-19 as having a high death rate, perceived barriers such as serious side effects and long distances, and depressive symptoms had negative associations with vaccine uptake among the slum community, but not in the estate community. Addressing barriers to vaccination, strengthening and utilizing the various cues to action, engagement of religious and cultural leaders, and continued community education and sensitization tailored to the needs of each community are potentially vital strategies in raising vaccination rates. Consideration of socioeconomic impact-alleviation strategies, especially among the urban poor, would also be beneficial.

“…More than 50% of the participants were unaware of the effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine [ 38 ]. Some significant barriers to vaccine hesitancy have been identified, including a lack of faith on the authorities, vaccine-origin conspiracy theories, and misconceptions about religion [ 39 , 40 ]. Vaccine hesitancy was identified as a serious public health threat by the WHO, raising concerns about the global success of vaccination [ 39 , 41 ].…”

Assessment of vaccine perception and vaccination intention of Mpox infection among the adult males in Bangladesh: A cross-sectional study findings

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background Mpox (monkeypox) infection has become a global concern for healthcare authorities after spreading in multiple non-endemic countries. Following the sudden multi-country outbreak of Mpox, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a public health emergency of international concern. We do not have any vaccines approved for the prevention of Mpox infection. Therefore, international healthcare authorities endorsed smallpox vaccines for the prevention of Mpox disease. Here we intended to perform this cross-sectional study among the adult males in Bangladesh to assess the Mpox vaccine perception and vaccination intention. Methods We conducted this web-based survey among the adult males in Bangladesh from September 1, 2022, to November 30, 2022, using Google Forms. We assessed the Mpox vaccine perception and vaccination intention. We performed a chi-square test to compare vaccine perception and vaccination intention levels. Also, we performed multiple logistic regression analyses to determine the association between the study parameters and the sociodemographic profile of the participants. Results According to the present study, the Mpox vaccine perception was high among 60.54% of the respondents. Also, 60.05% of respondents showed medium vaccination intention. Mpox vaccine perception and vaccination intention were strongly associated with the sociodemographic profiles of the participants. Furthermore, we discovered a significant association between the level of education and vaccination intention among the respondents. Also, age and marital status played a role in the Mpox vaccine perception and vaccination intention. Conclusion Our findings showed a significant association between sociodemographic characteristics and the Mpox vaccine perception/vaccination intention. Along with the country’s long experience in mass immunization, campaigns about Covid-19 vaccines and high vaccination rates might play a role in Mpox vaccine perception and vaccination intention. We recommend more social awareness and educational communications or seminars for the target population to bring more positive changes in their attitude towards Mpox prevention.

“…Prioritizing vaccination coverage must remain as one of the key factors driving vaccine uptake [54]. Also, vaccine hesitancy is important and should be prevented with comprehensive population education [55].…”
