本研究的目的是确定科威特普通成年人口对 2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 疫苗的接受程度，并评估其决定因素。一项基于网络的横断面研究招募了居住在科威特的成年人（n = 2,368；年龄≥21 岁）。如果参与者表示“一旦有疫苗可用，他们肯定或可能会接受针对 COVID-19 的疫苗接种”，则可推断他们接受了 COVID-19 疫苗。通过应用改进的泊松回归来估计和推断调整后的患病率 (aPR) 及其 95% 置信区间 (CI)，探索关联。总的来说，53.1% (1,257/2,368) 的参与者愿意接受 COVID-19 疫苗。男性受试者比女性受试者更愿意接受 COVID-19 疫苗（58.3% vs. 50.9%，p < 0.001）。认为疫苗总体上存在健康相关风险的受试者不太愿意接受疫苗接种（aPR = 0.39，95% CI：0.35-0.44）。此外，之前接种过流感疫苗的参与者更有可能接受 COVID-19 疫苗（aPR = 1.44，95% CI：1.31–1.58）。随着自我感知感染机会的增加，接种 COVID-19 疫苗的意愿也随之增加 (p < 0.001)。总体而言，53.1% 的研究参与者表现出接种 COVID-19 疫苗的意愿。我们发现了几个影响接受程度的因素。由于疫苗接种似乎是阻止 COVID-19 大流行的一项重要预防措施，因此公共卫生战略需要紧急解决与疫苗接受度低相关的因素。
The objective of this study was to determine the acceptance of a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine among the general adult population in Kuwait and assess its determinants. A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted by enrolling adults living in Kuwait (n = 2,368; aged ≥21 years). Acceptance of a COVID-19 vaccine was inferred if participants indicated that they “definitely or probably will accept vaccination against COVID-19 once a vaccine is available.” Associations were explored by applying a modified Poisson regression to estimate and infer adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI). In total, 53.1% (1,257/2,368) of the participants were willing to accept a COVID-19 vaccine once available. Male subjects were more willing to accept a COVID-19 vaccine than females (58.3 vs. 50.9%, p < 0.001). Subjects who viewed vaccines in general to have health-related risks were less willing to accept vaccination (aPR = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.35–0.44). Moreover, participants who previously received an influenza vaccine were more likely to accept a COVID-19 vaccine (aPR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.31–1.58). Willingness to get vaccinated against COVID-19 increased as the self-perceived chances of contracting the infection increased (p < 0.001). Overall, 53.1% of the study participants demonstrated willingness to get vaccinated against COVID-19. We found several factors influencing the level of acceptance. Since vaccination appears to be an essential preventive measure that can halt the COVID-19 pandemic, factors relating to low vaccine acceptance need to be urgently addressed by public health strategies.
