Background: Indonesia has not met its vaccination rate target, falling short of 25% in 2021. This study aims to assess all the contributing factors towards vaccine acceptance, hesitance, and refusal in a single vaccination center in Jambi, Indonesia.
Materials And Methods: We collected primary data from respondents directly through a structured questionnaire. This was a cross-sectional study with total sampling. We included adults vaccinated for the first dose with CoronaVac in Puskesmas Putri Ayu. The data was collected between March 15th and June 3rd, 2021. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was done to analyse the predictive models.
Results: There are 522 respondents included in this study. Nearly half of the respondents are male (52.1%) and mostly in the age category of 36-45 years old (21.1%). A total of 443 respondents (84.9%) are "vaccine acceptance," while the rest constitutes "vaccine hesitance and refusal." Multivariate analysis reveals that respondents who obtain permission from work or school to get vaccinated are more likely to be "vaccine acceptance" with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.76 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08-2.91; p-value 0.025), and respondents with ≥ 2 comorbidities are less likely to be "vaccine acceptance" with an OR of 0.09 (95% CI 0.01-0.64; p-value 0.015).
Conclusions: There is a high vaccine acceptance in this study. Difficulties in getting a work permit and the presence of ≥ 2 comorbidities decrease the willingness to be vaccinated for COVID-19.

India's National COVID Vaccination Program recommended vaccination of children ages 6-12 years in April 2022. This study assessed vaccine acceptance among mothers to better understand potential barriers and facilitators of national acceptance of pediatric coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. Qualitative data were collected through three focus group discussions (FGDs) with mothers who had children younger than 12 years of age; FGD-1 was composed of mothers who worked at a tertiary medical center in India, whereas FGD-2 and FGD-3 were composed of mothers who sought care at urban and rural community health centers.

Introduction: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake in the French Caribbean has remained below 25% since introduction in 2007, which is well behind national and international targets. Using a discrete choice experiment (DCE), we explored parental preferences around HPV vaccination and optimized communication content in a sample of parents of middle-school pupils in Guadeloupe.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey in public and private middle age schools in Guadeloupe in June 2023 using an online questionnaire.
Objectives: COVID-19 vaccine was rolled out for the public in August 2021 in Zamfara state, Northen Nigeria. We determined the factors influencing COVID-19 vaccine acceptance.
Settings: We executed a community-based analytical cross-sectional study during the first 4 months of the second phase of the COVID-19 (Oxford/AstraZeneca) mass vaccination campaign in Zamfara state.
