免疫系统较弱的人在服用两剂 mRNA 联合 COVID-19 疫苗后可能无法产生足够的保护。额外剂量可能会提高对 Covid-19 的保护水平。当前的研究旨在评估阿联酋人群对第三次 COVID-19 疫苗加强剂量接受度的知识、态度和威慑力。这是 2021 年 8 月 25 日至 10 月 20 日在阿吉曼大学的学生和教师中进行的在线描述性横断面社区研究。该调查问卷采用英语，分为两个部分，共 22 个项目。第一部分收集了受访者的人口统计详细信息，第二部分使用 13 个问题来评估受访者对第三剂 COVID-19 疫苗加强剂量的了解和态度。 614 名受访者参与了这项研究。平均知识得分为 44.6%，95% 置信区间 (CI) 为 [41%, 49%]。研究生（OR 4.29；95% CI 2.28–8.11）、医疗保健部门雇员（OR 1.62；95% CI 1.05–2.51）、有亲属感染 Covid-19 的参与者（OR 1.46；95% CI 1.05–2.02）、感染过 Covid-19 的参与者（OR 2.21；95% CI 1.43–3.43）以及接受前两剂 COVID-19 疫苗的参与者（OR 2.08；95% CI 1.40–3.11）。平均态度得分为 70.2%，95% 置信区间 (CI) 为 [69.2%, 71.2%]。政府和公共卫生部门应根据当地文化采取必要措施，提高疫苗接种接受度并培养对疫苗的积极态度。对此的合适方法是制定一个教育框架，向普通民众展示避免或延迟接种疫苗的风险。此外，卫生当局应更加关注互联网尤其是社交媒体上传播的虚假信息。此外，医疗保健工作者应接受疫苗学和病毒学方面的培训，以确保他们能够了解这些领域的重要进展并将研究结果传达给患者。
People with weakened immune systems may not develop adequate protection after taking two doses of the mRNA-combined COVID-19 vaccine. The additional dose may improve the level of protection against Covid-19. Current study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and determents of third COVID-19 vaccine booster dose acceptance among population in the UAE. This is online descriptive cross-sectional community-based study conducted among the students and faculty of Ajman University from 25 August to 20 October 2021. The questionnaire, which was in the English language, encompassed two sections containing 22 items. Section one gathered the demographic details of the respondents, while Section two used 13 questions to evaluate the respondents’ knowledge of and attitude to the third COVID-19 vaccine booster dose. 614 respondents participated in this study. The average knowledge score was 44.6% with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of [41%, 49%]. Better knowledge scores were observed in postgraduates (OR 4.29; 95% CI 2.28–8.11), employees in the healthcare sector (OR 1.62; 95% CI 1.05–2.51), participants who had relatives infected with the Covid-19 (OR 1.46; 95% CI 1.05–2.02), participants who had infected with Covid-19 (OR 2.21; 95% CI 1.43–3.43) and participants who had received first two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine (OR 2.08; 95% CI 1.40–3.11). The average attitude score was 70.2% with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of [69.2%, 71.2%]. Necessary steps should be taken by the government and public health authorities, in line with the local culture, to increase vaccination acceptance and foster positive attitudes towards the vaccine. A suitable approach to this would be to develop an educational framework that could demonstrate the risks of vaccine avoidance or delay to the general population. Moreover, health authorities should pay more attention to the false information being disseminated across the internet, especially social media. Also, healthcare workers should be trained in vaccinology and virology to make sure that they are able to understand important developments in these fields and convey the findings to their patients.
