COVID-19疫情对全球经济及人文影响巨大。目前尚无明确的治疗方法，因此加快COVID-19疫苗的开发和批准，为COVID-19的预防和控制提供了独特的机会。疫苗犹豫可能会限制非洲疫苗分发的成功，因此我们评估了非洲人对冠状病毒疫苗犹豫的可能性及其决定因素。以阿拉伯文、英文和法文进行了一项全非洲在线跨部门调查。询问了人口统计学、自我报告的健康状况、疫苗知识、对疫苗的知识和看法、过去的经验、行为、感染风险、接受SARS-COV-2疫苗的意愿和负担能力等问题。对数据进行描述性和推断性统计。共有5，416人完成了调查。大约94%的人居住在34个非洲国家，其他非洲人则散居在海外。只有63%的受访者愿意尽快接种COVID-19疫苗，79%的受访者担心其副作用。39%的人表示担心疫苗相关感染。与其他人相比，那些认为自己感染风险很高的人的疫苗犹豫几率为0.28（95% CI：0.22，0.30）。在那些认为自己患病风险非常高的人中，疫苗犹豫的几率是五分之一（OR = 0.21，95%CI：0.16，0.28），而那些认为自己患病风险非常低的人。与没有自我报告的疫苗犹豫史的同行相比，先前拒绝为自己或孩子接种疫苗的患者的疫苗犹豫OR为2.72（95% CI：2.24，3.31）。参与者希望疫苗是强制性的（40%），免费提供（78%），并在家庭和办公室分发（44%）。基于对冠状病毒感染风险的感知和过去的经验，非洲人对COVID-19疫苗的犹豫是很大的。
The economic and humanistic impact of COVID-19 pandemic is enormous globally. No definitive treatment exists, hence accelerated development and approval of COVID-19 vaccines, offers a unique opportunity for COVID-19 prevention and control. Vaccine hesitancy may limit the success of vaccine distribution in Africa, therefore we assessed the potentials for coronavirus vaccine hesitancy and its determinants among Africans. An online cross-sectional African-wide survey was administered in Arabic, English, and French languages. Questions on demographics, self-reported health status, vaccine literacy, knowledge and perception on vaccines, past experience, behavior, infection risk, willingness to receive and affordability of the SARS-COV-2 vaccine were asked. Data were subjected to descriptive and inferential statistics. A total of 5,416 individuals completed the survey. Approximately, 94% were residents of 34 African countries while the other Africans live in the Diaspora. Only 63% of all participants surveyed were willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccination as soon as possible and 79% were worried about its side effects. Thirty-nine percent expressed concerns of vaccine-associated infection. The odds of vaccine hesitancy was 0.28 (95% CI: 0.22, 0.30) among those who believed their risk of infection was very high, compared to those who believed otherwise. The odds of vaccine hesitancy was one-fifth (OR = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.16, 0.28) among those who believed their risk of falling sick was very high, compared to those who believed their risk of falling very sick was very low. The OR of vaccine hesitancy was 2.72 (95% CI: 2.24, 3.31) among those who have previously refused a vaccine for themselves or their child compared to counterparts with no self-reported history of vaccine hesitancy. Participants want the vaccines to be mandatory (40%), provided free of charge (78%) and distributed in homes and offices (44%). COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is substantial among Africans based on perceived risk of coronavirus infection and past experiences.
