“…In the event of a surge in cases, lockdown policies of varying strictness were implemented at the city level, including policies of complete alienation, community containment, business shutdowns ( Hu et al, 2021 ), or closures of only urban public spaces, especially third spaces—places that are neither work nor home ( Martínez & Short, 2021 ), or reductions in mobility by controlling the ratio of working from home to working from the office ( Tuti, Nurmandi, & Zahra, 2022 ). However, only some cities chose to monitor public compliance and violations ( Jain et al, 2022 ). Within cities, measures such as personnel control, material supply and strengthening of health services were implemented mainly at the community level ( Doyle, Hynes, & Purcell, 2021 ).…”

“…The highly sudden onset, infectious and wide diffusion of COVID-19 and its variant such as Omicron variant made it a high-risk task to implement the prevention and control [2] . Although various strategies have been proposed and implemented such as vaccination, non-pharmaceutical intervention, etc., within strict containment, it is still arduous for the epidemic prevention and control [3] .…”

“…Prior studies have shown that returning to normality during the COVID-19 pandemic is causally associated with the availability of a COVID-19 vaccine, where vaccination was central to many governmental strategies to combat the virus. By the end of 2020, multiple vaccines were approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) on an emergency use basis, which has substantially altered the course of the pandemic (Jain et al, 2022;WHO, 2020WHO, , 2021. Early results of mRNA vaccine trials suggested they would be effective at preventing, or slowing the pandemic (CDC, 2021;Polack et al, 2020).…”

The rapid development of multiple SARS-CoV-2 vaccines within one year of the virus’s emergence is unprecedented and redefines the timeline for vaccine approval and rollout. Consequently, over 13 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered worldwide, accounting for ∼70% of the global population. Despite this steadfast scientific achievement, many inequalities exist in vaccine distribution and procurement, particularly in low- and middle-income countries such as those in Africa. This stems from the cost of COVID-19 vaccines, storage and cold-chain challenges, distribution to remote areas, proper personnel training, and so on. In addition to logistical challenges, many developed nations rapidly procured available vaccines, administering second and third doses and leaving many developing nations without the first dose. In this paper, we explore the level of reception to COVID-19 vaccines prior to their availability in Rwanda using a survey-based approach. While several countries reported spikes in vaccine hesitancy generally coinciding with new information, new policies, or newly reported vaccine risks, Rwanda functions as an exemplar for controlling disease burden and educating locals regarding the benefits of vaccination. We show that, even before COVID-19 vaccines were available, many Rwandans (97%) recognized the importance of COVID-19 vaccination and (93%) were willing to receive a COVID-19 vaccine following vaccine availability. Our results underscore the level of preparedness in Rwanda, which rivals and outcompetes many developed nations in terms of vaccination rate (nearing 80% in Rwanda), vaccine acceptance, and local knowledge relating to vaccination. Furthermore, in addition to the whole-of-government coordination as well as tailored delivery approach, previously developed practices relating to vaccination and communication surrounding the Ebola Virus Disease may have compounded the COVID-19 vaccine program in Rwanda, prior to its implementation.
