Abstract:
The propensity to accept vaccines and factors that affect vaccine acceptance and hesitancy will determine the overall success of the COVID-19 vaccination program. Therefore, countries need to understand the factors that influence vaccine acceptance and hesitancy to prevent further future shocks, and it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of these factors. As a result, this study aims to review selected published works in the study\'s domain and conduct valuable analysis to determine the most influential factors in COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy in Ghana. The review also explored the acceptance rate of COVID-19 vaccines in Ghana. We selected published works from 2021 to April 2023 and extracted, analyzed, and summarized the findings based on the key factors that influence COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and hesitancy in Ghana, the acceptance rate in Ghana, the demographic factors that are often examined, and the study approach used to examine these factors. The study found that positive vaccination perception, safety, belief in vaccine efficacy, knowledge of COVID-19, and a good vaccine attitude influence COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in Ghana. The negative side effects of the vaccines, mistrust in the vaccine, lack of confidence in the vaccine\'s safety, fear, and spiritual and religious beliefs all played significant roles in influencing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. For this study, the COVID-19 acceptance rates observed in the reviewed articles ranged from 17.5% to 82.6%. The demographic parameters frequently included in these studies that have a significant impact include educational attainment, gender, religious affiliation, age, and marital status. The positive perceptions of the COVID-19 vaccine and concerns about its negative effects influenced Ghanaians\' acceptance and hesitancy.
摘要:
接受疫苗的倾向以及影响疫苗接受和犹豫的因素将决定COVID-19疫苗接种计划的整体成功。因此,各国需要了解影响疫苗接受度和犹豫的因素,以防止未来进一步的冲击,有必要对这些因素有一个透彻的了解。因此,本研究旨在回顾该研究领域的部分已发表的著作,并进行有价值的分析,以确定加纳对COVID-19疫苗接受度和犹豫的最有影响的因素。该审查还探讨了加纳对COVID-19疫苗的接受率。我们选择了2021年至2023年4月出版的作品,并提取了分析,并根据加纳影响COVID-19疫苗接受和犹豫的关键因素总结了研究结果,加纳的录取率,经常被检查的人口因素,以及用来检验这些因素的研究方法。研究发现,积极的疫苗接种观念,安全,对疫苗功效的信念,对COVID-19的了解,以及良好的疫苗态度影响加纳对COVID-19疫苗的接受度。疫苗的副作用,对疫苗的不信任,对疫苗的安全性缺乏信心,恐惧,精神和宗教信仰都在影响COVID-19疫苗犹豫中发挥了重要作用。对于这项研究,评论文章中观察到的COVID-19接受率在17.5%至82.6%之间。这些研究中经常包含的具有重大影响的人口统计学参数包括教育程度,性别,宗教信仰,年龄,和婚姻状况。对COVID-19疫苗的积极看法和对其负面影响的担忧影响了加纳人的接受和犹豫。
