Article Synopsis
- South Africa has the highest COVID-19 cases in Africa, and there's a need for data on public knowledge, vaccine intentions, and trusted information sources about the virus.
- The study surveyed 5,799 primary caregivers in three communities during the second wave of COVID-19, revealing that most respondents understood how the virus spreads and had intentions to get vaccinated, particularly among those over 64 years old.
- The findings suggest that public health campaigns should focus on socio-economic factors and reliable information sources, such as television, to improve vaccination rates and responses to future health crises.
