• W4285391390 abstract "Abstract Introduction: Although COVID-19 first spread slowly in the African continent, confirmed virus cases have risen steadily since March 2020. The rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 can be attributed to its numerous characteristics, including its high transmissibility, asymptomatic persons’ ability to shed the virus, vast numbers of asymptomatic persons, or mild symptoms but with the ability to transmit the virus, new variants, and super-spreading events. Poor public health practices, disbeliefs, myths, and misconceptions about the virus and its origin in many African communities are the other reasons for its rapid spread. This study aimed to determine the perceptions of the adult population in northern Uganda on the COVID-19 vaccine acceptance, disaggregated by age groups. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between March and April 2022 to assess COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among seven hundred and twenty-three adult populations selected randomly from the nine districts of the Acholi sub-region. A five-point Likert scale with responses categorized as Strongly Agree, SA, Agree, A, Neutral, N, Disagree, DA, and Strongly Disagree, SD was used to assess participants' acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccines. Ethical approval was obtained from a local IRB, and SPSS version 20.0 was used to perform multivariable logistic regression to identify factors associated with vaccine acceptance. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The most significant finding was that COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among the adult population in northern Uganda disaggregated by age groups was not statistically significant (χ 2 =3.956; p=0.142). COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among the age groups was associated with trust in the information from the mainstream media χ 2 =20.105; p=0.000; Government of Uganda χ 2 =19.900; p=0.028 and social media 10.745; p=0.030. The independent predictors on perceptions of the COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among age groups were; Participants strongly agreed on its importance to protect them from the virus AoR=4.99;95% CI:1.626-15.337;p=0.005; Agreed that the vaccine would protect them from the virus AoR=3.44;95%CI:1.225-9.650;p=0.019; strongly agreed that the side effects of the vaccine would stop them from receiving the vaccine AoR=0.330; 95%CI:0.125-0.856; p=0.023; They were neutral on whether the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine would stop them from getting a COVID-19 jab AoR= 0.320; 95%CI:0.108-0.952;p=0.027; would not accept to pay for the COVID-19 vaccine AoR=0.280;95%CI:0.093-0.866; p=0.027; Agreed that children could take a COVID-19 vaccine AoR= 0.260; 95%CI:0.105-0.626;p=0.003; Strongly agreed that children could return to school before the COVID-19 vaccination AoR= 2.330; 95%CI:1.103-4.916;p=0.027; and agreed that children could return to school before taking COVID-19 vaccines AoR= 3.320; 95%CI:1.225-9.014;p=0.018. Conclusion: COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among the study population disaggregated by age group was not significant despite the disinformation and misinformation in the Ugandan media. The independent determinants of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance were the importance of the vaccine in protecting against the virus, that the vaccine’s side effects could stop them from taking the vaccine, and that children could take the COVID-19 jab but could return to school before taking the COVID-19 jab. The fear of family members contracting the virus and self-isolation when infected contributed significantly to the COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among participants in northern Uganda. There is a need for health managers to engage, sensitize and mobilize the population by addressing concerns about long-term and immediate side effects to increase the COVID-19 vaccine uptake in this community." @default.
