“…Countries with broad vaccination coverage can offer key lessons on how to address the challenges about COVID-19 vaccination. In this context, the Chilean COVID-19 vaccination campaign has emerged as one of the most successful and rapid worldwide 23 . By July 2021, Chile was among the first countries in the world with more doses administered per 100 people (our world in data).…”

Control of the COVID-19 pandemic largely depends on the effectiveness of the vaccination. Several factors including vaccine hesitancy can affect the vaccination process. Understanding the factors that underlie the willingness to accept vaccination brings pivotal information to control the pandemic. We analyzed the association between the willingness level to accept the COVID-19 vaccine, and vaccine determinants amidst the Chilean vaccination process. Individual-level survey data was collected from nationally representative samples of 744 respondents, and multivariate regression models used to estimate the association between outcome and explanatory variables. We found that trust in the COVID-19 vaccine, scientists, and medical professionals increased the willingness to: accept the vaccine, a booster dose, annual vaccination, and children vaccination. Our results are critical to understand the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines in the context of a country with one of the world’s highest vaccination rates. We provide information for decision-making, policy design and communication of vaccination programs.

“…In fact, quarantine has been proven to avert 44-81% of incident cases and 31-63% of deaths (18). With respect to the vaccination strategy, India can follow the example of Chile for vaccine import where Chile did not disregard the Chinese vaccine Sinovac even for political reasons (24). In this pandemic situation, vaccines are our biggest weapons.…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has gripped the entire world, almost paralysing the human race in its entirety. The virus rapidly transmits via human-to-human medium resulting in a massive increase of patients with COVID-19. In order to curb the spread of the disease, an immediate action of complete lockdown was implemented across the globe. India with a population of over 1.3 billion was not an exception and took the challenge to execute phase-wise lockdown, unlock and partial lockdown activities. In this study, we intend to summarise these different phases that the Government of India (GoI) imposed to fight against SARS-CoV-2 so that it can act as a reference guideline to help controlling future waves of COVID-19 and similar pandemic situations in India.

Control of the COVID-19 pandemic largely depends on the effectiveness of the vaccination process. Understanding the factors that underlie the willingness to accept vaccination contributes pivotal information to control the pandemic. We analyzed the association between the willingness to accept the COVID-19 vaccines available and vaccine determinants amidst the Chilean vaccination process. Individual-level survey data was collected from 744 nationally representative respondents and multivariate regression models were used to estimate the association between outcome and explanatory variables. We found that trust in COVID-19 vaccines, scientists, and medical professionals increased the willingness to: accept the vaccines, booster doses, annual vaccinations, and the vaccination of children. Our results are critical to understanding the acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines in the context of a country with one of the world’s highest vaccination rates. We provide information for decision-making and policy design, as well as guidelines regarding how to effectively explain vaccination programs to citizens.
