为了尽量减少2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的破坏性影响，科学家们匆忙开发了一种疫苗。然而，疫苗的扩大可能会受到广泛的社交媒体错误信息的阻碍。因此，我们进行了一项研究，以评估津巴布韦人对COVID-19疫苗的犹豫。我们在成年人中进行了一项描述性的在线横断面调查，使用了一份自我管理的问卷。问卷评估接种意愿；社会人口特征、个人态度和看法、疫苗的有效性和安全性。多变量logistic回归分析用于检验与疫苗摄取相关的独立因素。我们分析了1168名参与者的数据，年龄范围为19-89岁，其中大多数是女性（57.5%）。一半（49.9%）的参与者报告说他们会接受COVID-19疫苗。大多数人不确定疫苗的有效性（76.0%）和安全性（55.0%）。大约一半的人对政府确保提供有效疫苗的能力缺乏信任，61.0%的人提到他们会向医护人员寻求接种疫苗的建议。慢性疾病[vs无慢性疾病-调整优势比（AOR）： 1.50, 95%可信区间（CI）： 1.10-2.03]、男性[vs女性-调整优势比：1.83,95%CI: 1.37-2.44]和作为卫生工作者[vs非卫生工作者-调整优势比：1.59,95%CI: 1.18-2.14]与接种疫苗的可能性增加相关。我们发现一半的参与者愿意接种COVID-19疫苗。大多数人对政府缺乏信任，对疫苗的有效性和安全性不确定。决策者应考虑以不太可能接种疫苗的地理和人口群体为目标，提供疫苗信息、教育和交流，以提高吸收率。
As a way of minimising the devastating effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, scientists hastily developed a vaccine. However, the scale-up of the vaccine is likely to be hindered by the widespread social media misinformation. We therefore conducted a study to assess the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among Zimbabweans. We conducted a descriptive online cross-sectional survey using a self-administered questionnaire among adults. The questionnaire assessed willingness to be vaccinated; socio-demographic characteristics, individual attitudes and perceptions, effectiveness and safety of the vaccine. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was utilized to examine the independent factors associated with vaccine uptake. We analysed data for 1168 participants, age range of 19–89 years with the majority being females (57.5%). Half (49.9%) of the participants reported that they would accept the COVID-19 vaccine. Majority were uncertain about the effectiveness of the vaccine (76.0%) and its safety (55.0%). About half lacked trust in the government’s ability to ensure availability of an effective vaccine and 61.0% mentioned that they would seek advice from a healthcare worker to vaccinate. Chronic disease [vs no chronic disease—Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR): 1.50, 95% Confidence Interval (CI)I: 1.10–2.03], males [vs females—AOR: 1.83, 95%CI: 1.37–2.44] and being a healthcare worker [vs not being a health worker—AOR: 1.59, 95%CI: 1.18–2.14] were associated with increased likelihood to vaccinate. We found half of the participants willing to vaccinate against COVID-19. The majority lacked trust in the government and were uncertain about vaccine effectiveness and safety. The policy makers should consider targeting geographical and demographic groups which were unlikely to vaccinate with vaccine information, education and communication to improve uptake.
