Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the factors causing hesitancy and motivation for COVID-19 vaccination among patients visiting eye care facilities, using a telephonic survey from July 1 to 31, 2021, involving 5,033 participants.
- - Results showed that 44.2% of patients were vaccinated, with fear of side effects being the main reason for hesitancy and fear of infection driving vaccination motivation; younger age, female gender, lower education levels, and lower income negatively influenced vaccination rates.
