Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an extremely contagious viral infection caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. Understanding the willingness of the community to receive the COVID-19 vaccine will help in the development and implementation of effective COVID-19 vaccination promotion programs. Therefore, we aimed to assess the level of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and associated factors among residents of Dire Dawa Administration, Eastern Ethiopia.
METHODS: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 840 residents in Dire Dawa Administration from May 18th to June 18th, 2021. Multistage cluster sampling followed by systematic random sampling was used to select respondents. A pretested interviewer-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect the data from respondents. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression were used to identify predictors of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. The odds ratio (OR), along with a 95% confidence interval (CI), was used to estimate the strength of the association.
RESULTS: Out of 840 respondents recruited, the proportion of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance was found to be 54.4% (457/840); (95% CI: 51.0%, 57.7%) Being male [AOR = 1.85, 95% CI: (1.35, 2.54), P < 0.001], not having a current habit of substance use [AOR = 2.38, 95% CI: (1.73, 3.26), P < 0.001], having a monthly income of less than 51.31 USD [AOR = 0.19, 95% CI: (0.04, 0.88), P = 0.001]; and not having a prior history of vaccination experience [AOR = 0.40, 95% CI: (0.29, 0.54), P < 0.001] were significantly associated with COVID-19 vaccine acceptance.
CONCLUSIONS: This study reveals that the proportion of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among residents of Dire Dawa Administration, Eastern Ethiopia, was 54.4%. Factors like being male and not having a current habit of substance use were positively associated, whereas having a monthly income of less than 51.31 USD and not having a prior history of vaccination experience were negatively associated with COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Health information dissemination and economic empowerment are crucial to improving COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among the community. This study provides valuable data for policymakers to plan early vaccination programs and tackle the challenges identified in the study.

摘要：
背景：2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）是一种由严重急性呼吸道综合症冠状病毒2引起的极具传染性的病毒感染。了解社区接受COVID-19疫苗的意愿将有助于制定和实施有效的COVID-19疫苗接种促进计划。因此,我们旨在评估DireDawa管理局居民对COVID-19疫苗的接受度和相关因素，埃塞俄比亚东部。
方法：从5月18日至6月18日，在DireDawa管理局的840名居民中进行了一项基于社区的横断面研究，2021年。采用多阶段整群抽样，然后进行系统随机抽样来选择受访者。使用预先测试的面试官管理的结构化问卷从受访者那里收集数据。双变量和多变量逻辑回归用于确定COVID-19疫苗接受度的预测因子。赔率比(OR)，连同95%的置信区间(CI)，被用来估计协会的强度。
结果：在招募的840名受访者中，COVID-19疫苗的接受比例为54.4%(457/840)；(95%CI：51.0%，57.7%）男性[AOR=1.85，95%CI：（1.35，2.54），P<0.001],目前没有物质使用习惯[AOR=2.38，95%CI：(1.73，3.26)，P<0.001],月收入低于51.31美元[AOR=0.19，95%CI：(0.04，0.88)，P=0.001];并且没有疫苗接种经验的既往史[AOR=0.40，95％CI：（0.29，0.54），P<0.001]与COVID-19疫苗接受度显著相关。
结论：这项研究表明，DireDawa管理局居民接受COVID-19疫苗的比例，埃塞俄比亚东部,为54.4%。男性和目前没有吸毒习惯等因素呈正相关，而月收入低于51.31美元且没有疫苗接种经验的既往史与COVID-19疫苗接受度呈负相关.健康信息传播和经济赋权对于提高社区对COVID-19疫苗的接受度至关重要。这项研究为政策制定者制定早期疫苗接种计划和应对研究中发现的挑战提供了有价值的数据。
