- W4383988968 abstract "Abstract Background The COVID-19 vaccine rollout program in Uganda was launched in March 2021 with Healthcare Workers (HCWs), older persons (≥50 years), and persons with chronic conditions as priority groups for vaccination. To inform the vaccine rollout efforts, we set out to explore the social and structural factors that influenced the uptake of COVID-19 vaccines among HCWs and older people in Uganda. Methods Between September and October 2021, we conducted 33 in-depth interviews with 25 HCWs aged 21–63 years from three hospitals from two districts in the central region of Uganda and eight older people from communities in Wakiso district. Selection was purposive based on sex, occupation, education, cadre of HCWs (doctors, nurses, laboratory technologist, hospital support staff, administrator) and vaccination status. We explored participants’ knowledge, beliefs, personal experiences, barriers, and facilitators to vaccine uptake and suggestions for future COVID-19 vaccine rollout. Interviews were audio-recorded, data was transcribed and translated from the local language, coded, and analysed by themes. Results Twenty-two of the 25 (88%) HCWs and 3 of the 8 (38%) older people had received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at the time of interview. The structural facilitating factors to vaccine uptake included access to correct information, fear of a risky work environment, and mandatory vaccination requirements especially for frontline HCWs. Old age, chronic health conditions, and the fear of death are contextual facilitating factors, while influence from leaders was the main social facilitating factor. Myths and misconceptions about COVID-19 vaccines and the fear of side effects were common social barriers to vaccine uptake among HCWs and older people. Long distances to vaccination centres, vaccine stock-outs, and long queues at the vaccination centres were specific barriers to vaccine uptake for older people. The prerequisite of signing a consent form was a specific structural barrier for the HCWs. Transport challenges linked to long distances to the vaccination centres, for older people, and having underlying chronic health conditions, for both older people and HCWs, were the reported contextual factors. Conclusion Future roll out of new vaccines should have a comprehensive information dissemination strategy about the vaccines. Improved access to vaccines through community outreaches, reliable vaccine supply and addressing vaccine misinformation, may enhance COVID-19 vaccine uptake in Uganda and other future mass vaccination campaigns." @default.
